It's been a long time since I had a 1.9, but I do remember cussing at that
darned t'stat housing.  I also remember getting the fuel pump off without
removing the housing, but now that you've broken the bolt, you may as well
remove it all.

I do remember having to remove the pulley to access the lower pump bolt(s),
and do NOT recall the crossover tube being an issue to remove, though it did
have to be twisted around a bit.  I do remember having a hard time finding
the soft rubber o-ring for that crossover tube.

|As far as the crossover tube, I found that the attachment
|point for the dipstick was the hindrance.
|Hacksawed that off, and welded it back on later.
