[timwfm]

I have an issue trying to remove the third bolt on the thermostat housing (DF200AP). It sit real tight behind the throttle body. Anyone have any recommendation to get to it? I have attach the picture. Do I need to remove the throttle body? Thanks Ahead Tim

You may have figured it out by now but removal of the throttle body is about the only way you can go on this one
Probably the service manual would be of benefit..
and be sure to put a rag in the hole when you pull of the throttle body..Art
