Fan thermoswitch questions

I was doing my fall maintenance on the cooling system today on my '94 CSE non-turbo and ran into some Qs while attempting to change out the fan thermoswitch on the radiator.
1. What are the temp specs for the stock thermoswitch and the common Whaler replacement (p/n 4086682) that comes with the pigtail attached? I changed to an 82* thermostat and want the fans to come on sooner to avoid the daily temp overshoot at the end of my commute whereby the temp gauge gets within a needle's width of the red.
2. What's the secret of disconnecting the darned electrical connector for the thermoswitch? I gave up after 1/2 hour of squeezing, pulling and swearing. I'm thinging of going to one of the non OE-style thermoswitches just so that I don't have to disconnect that stupid connector.
3. Any secret to avoiding draining out all my new coolant when I do change the switch, besides "work fast"?
4. If I go with one of the replacement switches, what size connectors do I need to have on hand to crimp on and mate to the male ends on the new switch?
Thanks,
Scott
