Ok so I drained the radiator drained the oil. Spent 2 hours getting the four 10 mm bolts out. I'm not an all star mechanic by any means, but this job is killing me in trying to take my time and walk away and come back later. I'm having a hell of a time getting the hose off of the thermostat housing so I can get the assembly out of there and clean the surfaces and put the new gaskets in its jacked up and on stands front left wheel off for the 4 10mm's. It's a bit chilly here and it seems to me that these hoses are original and or on for a long time .
Is there a smarter way to get the assembly out after I got the four bolts out? Should I focus on just getting the hose off the adapter gasket or take the other ones off the thermostat housing too? Advice would be appreciated thanks guys
