I had trouble with one bolt on the thermostat housing. It was a torx head, and ended up stipping it trying to loosen it. I ended up having to grind the head off to remove the housing and using vice grips to loosen the exposed bolt. When replaced the bolts, I put a liberal amount of antiseize on the threads.
I siphoned out the coolant doing the expansion tank to the cylinder head using small pvc tubing (1/4" ?). Worked great.
A 3M scratch pad works well to clean up any corrosion. I put a little sealant around the housing to prevent leaks.
shouldn't take more than 2 hours to do.
HTH.
Pete
