nzhaystack 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Hey Guys, This sounds like a dumb question but my thermostat has comepletly rusted itself into the housing and doesnt want to leave. i have degreased it several times, tried to wedge it out with a screwdriver and a few other things and nothing seems to be working.. Any suggestions Heres what im dealing with: Cheers Mitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
