Just in case anyone wants to know, the 90 degree fitting that the thermostat housing bolts to is off. This fitting is attached by three T40 bolts directly to the block.

To remove, you must relocate the power steering pump by disconnecting the three mounting bolts, then the electrical connector and then, as you would during a timing change, take the coolant jug, power steering reservoir and in this case the power steering pump and get it up and out of your way. You'll also have to disconnect an electrical connector too.

To get to the lower T40 you need an allen style T40. Instead of a bit its got a right angle bend. There's only enough room to fit the shank of the T40 in there. If you try to use a 1/4" drive with extension, there's not enough room.

Pita, but dooable. Knowledge is power. Just that I'm kinda dumb sometimes.
