How Do I Replace Thermostat? Pleas Help

[kcwerth]

my daughters car broke down today in the middle of no-where and I was told it was the thermostat. Is it very difficult to replace? It will cost me over $300 to have it towed and another $100 for part and labor. I heard this part is rather cheap so I was wondering if I could do it my self??

Thank you,
cindy
