Take apart the tstat and on the base part put a bb in the little crevice. You will know when you see it, the bb will just drop right in.
I think that makes it a 180 tstat? Not sure exactly.
I'll take pics of my extra one if you want

My 03 tstat is a different internal config, but look physically the same on the outside. The 04s are completely different.

Here is a picture from my original post a few years ago:
