Thermostat housing removal
Thermostat housing, how do I remove it? I know there are 3 screws on the base but I don’t know how to reach them. I’m not talking about replacing the thermostat, I’m talking about the entire thing.

Reach down, driver side of the engine, use 19mm deep socket to remove the coolant temperature sensor, then the three 10 mm bolts

right but the 3 bolts are in a hard to reach area. Do I need a special tool or something? Sorry I’m new to this car.
