[pgertz]

I need to replace the thermal element in my 2002 Frontier V6 4WD I ordered a replacement mfg part it comes with some very vague instructions and is shipped in a frame assm. I assume needs to be removed before installation. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Are you refering to the wax pellet for fast idle?

That's probably it. When I ordered it they referred to it as the Thermal Element Here's what the instructions say.Air intrusion into between wax and wax pin causes error in wax operation strokeIn order to eliminate the air intrusion WAX is pushed by fixure like shown.Please keep followings in replaceing WAx1. Assemble wax to carb. within 10 seconds after wax was taken out of the fixture2. Do not remove wax pin out of wax when waxis out of the fixture. Not really sure how to remove the part from the "fixture"After checking a little more I'm thinking it's easier to remove the 4 bolts from the throttle body in order to get the part in easier?
