Looks like some of the messes that I had to cleanup too here on some vehicles. At least the last time I had t stat problem I pull it in the field at a shop that had no idea to even change a Honda's T stat. They couldn't help and I was going to need tow truck. I ask if the could loan me a ratchet, an extension, and a 10 mm socket which they did. The tech watching me lower jaw hit the ground as I pulled out the busted t stat in matter a few minutes. I was back on the road in less than 30 minutes.
