The only things which I remove was the large air piping assembly from the air filter up to the throttle body. Layed it out of the way and removed the 10 mm cap screws holding the fuel regulator bracket ( love that design move! ) and then the 12 mm head bolts of the Tstat housing. Used just a 12 mm box end wrench for those which made it slow but I didn't have good access since I left the body in place. Just took more time and was tight, but I disturbed less stuff. Dropped a bolt once down below the throttle body and relied on my long 3 finger grabber to save me once again. That was a faily young thermostat but had failed after a year. Also did a new radiator mounted thermostatic fan switch same time which was failing too. My 1/4" drive was great on the 10mm cap screw of the bracket on the Tstat change but the wrench was worked fine on the 12 mm housing bolts.
