I'm trying to replace a set of thermostats in my engine. I got the thermostat assembly out okay but it took a while. Trouble is that my exhaust cover is the bubble type and I cannot get my the assembled thermostat unit back into the back of the engine because there is not enough room to work. I'm guessing that you have to remove the exhaust cover to have enough room. Is this correct. I have already tried to see if I can loosen the bottom bolts on the exhaust cover. One of them turns but the other two are frozen. What can I do to unfreeze the bolts.
Is there any other way to put the thermostat assembly back on that would be easier?
