The housing won't budge or the t-stat isstuck itself???

with the housing I would just take a rubber hammer/mallet and tap it all around, it will break free. As far as the t-stat (I think I had this problem before) grab onto it with a pair of vice grips and pull on it like a mother or find a suitable place to get leverage and go at it that way.
