As mentioned 3 10mm bolts to remove the stat and housing.
If your wanting to change the stat inside the housing you just push it in a little and turn.
Put a piccy up of whats causing you the problem.

First you push and twist like this. I find long nose pliers help.

Yeah and if in doubt throw it in the bin and spend £9.99 on Ebay for a new one as life is too short to funk on with this shizzle lol
