Want this question answered?
It should come apart like any other bolt action rifle pull up and back
no they do not come off but you can try to break it off like what i did
Yes but it will shock you like a lightning bolt.
The word is from old German. It got the name because the shape is like a distaff for spinning yarn.
spinning a flag around like big drumsticks

First, locate it: put your hand on the upper radiator hose and follow it to the engine. The metal piece the hose is attached to is the thermostat housing. It's held on with two bolts. Take them out, and pull the housing away from the engine. You have a new thermostat and a new gasket--I don't know why thermostats don't come with gaskets, but they're sold separately. There's a slot in the gasket that runs all the way around the inside of it. Work the gasket around the thermostat until the new thermostat looks like the old one. Before you remove the old thermostat, look at it: there's a pin coming out of the thermostat body. You must install the new thermostat with the pin in the same place. Pull out the old thermostat, press the new one in its place with your fingers, set the thermostat housing back on the engine and tighten the bolts to 25 lb-ft. Next, look at the top of the thermostat housing. You'll see two sensors--they've got cables coming out of them--and a bolt with kind of a nipple in the middle of it. That's the bleeder bolt. Loosen it with a 12mm socket. Take off the radiator cap and slowly pour coolant--be sure it's either Honda Genuime or an "all makes all models" coolant--into the radiator until some comes out of the bleeder bolt. Then tighten it and you're done.

How is a nut like a bolt
No exact idea, tho most I have seen, were where the upper radiator hose attached to the engine. There is often found a dome like part connected to the hose and it has a bolt or three holding the "dome" to the engine wherein resides the thermostat. "Look fer it!"
It is located on the passenger side, towards the top and front of the engine. It is an assembly that includes the pipe that the upper radiator hose attaches to. The top bolt is very easy to get to with a socket. The bottom bolt is where I got stuck. I could not find a way to get a socket on it even using a universal joint. There is no way to get a wrench on the bottom bolt. It looks like you may have to take the power steering pump and it's mounting bracket off in order to get the bottom bolt out and back in. I am taking my TB to the shop as I don't want to tear it down that far just to replace the thermostat. If someone finds a way to deal with the troublesome bottom bolt, please update this answer. ....HERE IS THE CORRECT ANSWER... I hope you had fun trying to remove the WATER OUTLET of your car. the thermostat is located on the driver side behind the alternator. remove the serpentine belt, the alternator, the raidator hose, and then the thermostat.
The thermostat is located right on the front of the engine block. It is not a normal thermostat like you see in most vehicles. It is actually the flange that the lower radiator hose slips on to. Drain your engine coolant, remove the clamp on the lower radiator hose going to to the motor. remove the two 10mm bolts from the radiator hose flange to the motor, and the entire assembly will come out. when you purchase a new thermostat, it will come already mounted in a new housing. Replace the gasket, place the new thermostat in the motor, and reinstall the bolts.
