The most likely cause is the studs have corroded to the thermostat housing.
Try heating the studs with a torch and see if that helps, or you can try
removing the studs by putting two nuts them and turning the bottom one, if
all else fails try removing the studs with vicegrips. When you replace the
studs use lots of neverseize on them or use bolts instaed.
