Hi Ive been lurking around the forum for a long time, abusing the search button mainly But I've ran into a problem and cant find a clean answer.

My thermostat housing has starting leaking, i need to remove and redo the gasket.
What is the best way on going about this, it looks like the 3 bolts wont come out without hitting the housing infront of them.

thanks
