It's also sealed by an O-Ring - gently pry off the housing (yes, it's only held with 2 bolts). Try using a screwdriver to separate the plastic from the housing. Once off, remove the old thermostat with a screwdriver as well (used as a prybar). Be sure to have a BFP (big pan) under the car since the remaining coolant will dump from the housing, down your arm to your armpit and into the pan.
