The vertical oil pipe below it runnung into the crank case, should be able to push it straight down so it comes out the manifold. You should see a spring around it at the bottom.
That or you've missed the nut next to the thermostat housing, the bottom pipe's in the way so the coolant has to be drained.

There is NO nucleus.

There's 13 bolts iirc, one is in between no3 and no4 inlet above the crankcase breather tube.
If the tube won't stay down because of the spring compress the spring with a thin cable tie, that's what i do on reassembly.
