Thanks for the vote, and good luck!

Last time I had this problem I had a cracked head. With the cap off the radiator, run the engine at idle to operating temperature. When your looking in the radiator you should see the water circulating if the water pump is working. When you say the motor is over heating, if you have fluid coming out of the over flow hose then yes you are most likely overheating, if you are just seeing the gauge indicate you are over heating you may just have a bad engine temp sensor.

It pays to have it done by a reputable repair shop. They have the better tools and supplies to do the job. You can get flush kits at auto stores and they contain instructions on how to do so.

LICENSE PLATE LAMP BULB
REMOVAL

1. Remove screws attaching license plate lamp to rear bumper
2. Remove lamp from bumper.
3. Remove bulb socket from lamp.
4. Pull bulb from socket.

INSTALLATION

1. Install bulb into socket.
2. Install bulb socket into lamp.
3. Place lamp in position.
4. Install screws attaching license plate lamp to rear bumper.

In all honesty that is a job best left to a repair shop. There is a broad range of specialty tools such as camshaft locks/holders used to keep the camshaft from accidental rotation during belt install to cam belt/chain guide install tools.
