thermostat housing
I recently replaced some leaking heater hoses and radiator hoses. unfortunately, the upper radiator hose is still leaking at the thermostat housing.
The metal housing was chewed up and has a small chunk missing so it wont seal well (looks like PO was too rough removing the radiator hose ). my question is can i replace just the housing or do i need to replace the thermostat as well?
what would be involved? unbolt and remove housing, remove old gasket clean surface, new gasket and bolt on new housing? am I missing anything?

thanks for the info guys
I got a little ahead of my self thinking it needed to be replaced.
think it just needed to be tightened
I took the hose off, cleaned the surface, put it back on and tightened it. no more leaky. if it leaks again I will replace the tstat and housing.
