I have a new thermostat and have taken the old one off. Is there a trick to getting into the housing for the thermostat.

REMOVAL Drain cooling system to the thermostat level or below. Remove inlet hose and coolant elbow from thermostat housing. Remove thermostat assembly, and clean sealing surfaces. INSTALLATION Install thermostat into the recess in the thermostat housing. Install inlet elbow and tighten the bolts to 12 Nm (133 inch lbs ) . Fill cooling system.
