All good posts - PB Blaster or WD-40, and turn nuts gently at first to loosen.
I broke off the top of a stud and had just enough thread left to hold the parts on when done.

Small jiggle pin in hole in thermostat goes on top side, true. Also goes at highest point of top side - it's a kind of vent to handle air pockets; that's my understanding. Air bubbles rise and eventually exit via small hose at top passenger side of radiator.

Again yes re. rubbber gasket. Wraps around t'stat, that's all. Makes a good seal.
