Good to hear your back in shape.
The easiest way to replace the air thermostat is to put the air box/damper assembly into a large vise, carefully compressing the spring and holding the damper, then extract the t-stat. No need to remove the t-stat mount from the front 1/2 of the airbox. Usually when you attempt to remove the damper mechanism from the airbox, you'll break one or more of the plastic snaps that hold the mechanism to the box becasue they get hard and brittle over the years(then you screwed!), so it's best to never remove the assembly unless it's broken.
