Thermostat in L98

OK... I know where the thermostat is, i think I would be able to change it myself but.... how the hell do u get the 2nd bolt off. There are two bolts. One is easy to get off and the other is next to impossible. It says in the book I have "How to tune and modify your 1982-1996 Camaro" that it takes 20-30 min to swap a thermostat. Well I ended up taking my car to pep boys to have the thermostat and oil changed because I had a class to make, and definetly did not have time to do it myself. i spoke to the mechanic that swapped the thermostat and he said that it took him a little over an hour to get that 2nd bolt off alone. How are you supposed to get these things off???

to make it easier to get the hard one off, take off your throttle body.
