Upon removing the water pump on the CA for replacement, I wanted to remove the upper and lower thermostat housings so I could replace the thermostat too. Upon trying to unbolt the 2 halves I snapped off 3 out of 4 of the bolts holding it together. It didn't take very much pressure to snap them either. The bolts broke off about 1/8 inch above the surface of the bottom half of the housing.
With this housing being aluminum or pot metal or what ever it is, I'm sure this has happened to someone else. What is the solution and easiest way to fix it?? Can these parts be bought new aftermarket?
