How do I change the %@#! coolant thermostat??

I've looked at repair manuals and scouered the internet but I can't seem to find out how to change the coolant thermostat on my 00 V6 Solara! Some people say you need to remove a bunch of belts and parts to get to it and some say just drain and replace the coolant. I know its located near the water intel hose but that's as far as I get. Does anyone have any images on where the housing is for the thermostat and which three bolts I need to take off? Images is what I really need most. Thanks for any help!

Remember to use Toyota coolant.

Dont know how I missed that link. Yeah, that definently helped. Thanks. Took a whole 20 min with the right tools. I used the green coolant which is frowned upon by many on this forum but I will just cut down the coolant change by half the reccomended change time then switch to toyota red.
