How do I remove all the bolts from the coolant crossover tube from thermostat? It seems as though there are a couple of bolts on the underside that are not accessible. Is there a better way to remove bolts?

We are trying to replace the gasket on the passenger side. We have a ford f150 2001. In order to get to it the bolts have to be removed on both sides of the "Arm".

I will try to get the pic as soon as my husband comes back with it.

Whatever the yellow plastic thing and what it is connected to, is blocking entry.
