Thermostat?

Man is there some secret to changing the thermostat on the honda motors? It's a bitch for me!
I hate it!
back in my 5.0 mustangs it was a pretty quick and painless job. Now I have to pull a bunch of stuff out of the way and disconnect wiring harnesses?
Is there a trick to this I am missing?

    2) where in the hell are you looking for the thermostat? this is literally a 5 minute job
  • Step 1/Drain radiator
    Step 2/Remove radiator house from thermostat housing
    Step 3/Undo 2x bolts, remove thermostat housing and old thermostat
    Step 4/Profit

    Well I am a big guy with big hands.
    I drained the radiator, pulled the battery, and had to move a bunch of wires. I couldn't get my hands anywhere near the thermostat! I still had the original Honda thermostat in there, 180k miles. I found out right away that it was stuck open. I wonder if it was effecting my mpg? I know for sure it was effecting my heater.
