If you have air tools and the exhaust pipe bolt are not too rusty then I would suggest loosing or removing the exhaust pipe to gain access to the bottom bolt.
If you haven't already looked, search thermostat removal on you tube for you same motor. "Like 3.1 thermostat removal"
Removing the exhaust is the only way i've done it.
Thanks for the question
