The part you speak of is a PITA to remove because of the O-ring that practically seizes in there. You will have to take the 2 (10mm) bolts off the thermostat *D16a6 Reference* and wiggle the hell out of it and it will break loose, but be careful not to fling backward while removing it, although I have never yet been able to remove it without ending up pretty much on my a$$.

You may also consider replacing your HG if it has over-heated.
