Okay heres the steps you want to follow...
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from battery
2. Drain the cooling system
3. Then follow the upper radiator hose to the timing belt end of the engine to locate the thermostat housing. Loosen the hose clamp and detatch the hose from its fitting.
4. Remove the bolts and detach the housing cover ( you may need to tap it with a hammer to loosen it)
Then slap in a new one

Is there something that I can do (besides removing the timing belt cover, which I don't even think will help) to do this?

there are 3 bolts, 12mm i think. You can use a regular 3/8 inch ratchet, with a 12mm deep socket, to open them. And when you install the new thermostat make sure than the bubble thingy is facing up.
