Tip: Don't bust off the thermostat housing bolts in the block!
Then,
Really ought to consider replacing everything (~$200) then you only have to make a mess yanking the lower hose once.

He is VERY serious when he says don't break the bolts off. Soak them suckers.
Also, good time to do a system flush. For 6$ of distilled gallons at Walmart and a 10$ Prestone flush it's one of the best things I did for my jeep. Watch Chris Fixx on YouTube for his flush method.

I suggest buying Fel-Pro gaskets for the water pump and thermostat housing. Superior to and less likely to leak than the included gaskets.
