Subject: NEED HELP W/ THERMOSTAT HOUSING

Dear List members,
It appears that the Thermostat housing is leaking
where it attaches to
the
block/head on m '88 Vanagon 2.1 w/4 speed.

The bolts that hold it on appear to be quite rusty and
I'm hesitant
that I
might break them off as they are probably original.

I want to replace the housing, thermostat, o-rings and
any hoses that
are
attached to it.

Any hints or help you can give me about removal and
replacement would
be
greatly appreciated.

John Wallace
Rumford, Maine
