I believe that you have to lift up the tank and it is on the back of the head. It should have two 8 or 10mm bolts to remove. You would probably want to drian the system prior to removing the thermostat housing by taking the bottom hose off the radiator.

No it is not. It is easier if you just remove the tank ad you can use an 8MM socket to remove the 2 screws.
