I can get extension in don't seem straight, I don't want to strip that bolt. Can I do it?, or what else should I take off? Stay safe out there. It's all alright were all patriots, Tough as nails.

Just to better understand what you are trying to get done: are you trying to remove the lower thermostat housing, the square-ish piece that attaches to the head? Why? Or are you just tying to get to the thermostat?
