After posting how I did it, I got some good advise see below

In fig. 98, it might be worth mentioning that the thermostat housing's bolt fixing sits underneath that of the curved pipe, making removal difficult.

I also noticed that when draining the coolant you didn't use the cylinder block drain tap. I think that's why you got the flooding when you released the thermostat housing.
