Whoops!
Okay hold back on the response to the 'how do you get the studs out'
question. I got called in for lunch while in the final stages of prying the
housing off and it looked like it was going to be a bear of a job to get the
studs out. Wrong!
One was about finger tight and the other one is currently moving, albeit
slowly!
Oh ... and that doesn't really look like a sleeve. The new thermostat sits
on top of it. Scary looking, though!
