2.4 engine. I found the thermostat housing and removed the 3 bolts but the housing seems to be stuck on the head! I tapped it lightly but i'm afraid of breaking it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I would Hit it with a piece of wood by a hammer,but dont hit it hard,what has happened is the sealant between the housing and engine is holding it kinda like a glue,and whatever you do dont pry it with a screwdriver,or the housing may leak in the future
