I'm working on a 2009 CRV 2.4 the bypass inlet hose is leaking at the thermostat housing. Is there a easy way to replace it? Does the exhaust and intake need to come off.....need help please

 

In the Haynes manual, it says when working on a CRV, access is from the underside of the engine compartment.
Jack up the vehicle, put jack stands under for safety, drain radiator coolant, follow lower radiator hose to engine, locate thermostat,
Disconnect clamps, remove hoses, (for thermostat replacement) remove two bolts holding housing
Good luck
