3 studs, 3 nuts. Which is good. Because you've got twice the chances of breaking them free. If the nuts won't budge, maybe the studs will(nut still attached)...eventually.
Penetrant soak + 6 point 12mm impact socket + breaker bar = your best chance of success.
As long as yours doesn't have the plastic t-stat housing, applying the heat wrench(torch) would be the last resort.
Good luck!
