Need Help, Questions.

I have a couple of questions.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the thermostat on the RB20det?

And also how to remove the top screw from the starter Motor, also in the RB20det?

take of the hose that goes from radiator to thermostat housing. undo three bolts. pull thermostat out. while its out might as well test it and flush the whole shit show. an rb30 thermostat gasket will fit.

after I wrote the initial post I found the way how to successfully remove the bolt which was giving me trouble but I still have a problem with the removal of the bolt from the starter motor.

This kind of situation is usually a matter of having just the right tool for the job. From memory we used a combination of socket with various length extensions from the front of the car and ring spanner with just the right angle on the head up from below. Once the initial grip is cracked a 1/4 socket driver with good selection of extensions is very useful.

Or you can spend a couple of hours removing bits from the engine bay and attack it from the top. Enjoy!
