There is a cable support bracket bolted to the bottom of the thermo valve, just remove the wiring from it. If you haven't already, remove the coolant lines to the thermovalve. Then it should just come off. You may have to use some force because that gasket can be really stuck on there.

Good luck.

does the gasket always need to be replaced when taking it off? i have a problem with my gas pedal sticking up, and a friend of mine said it had to do with pressure and the TB needed to be cleaned out...

Absolutly yes, the gasket must be replaced. It is that fiber stuff that Honda uses and it will not survive removal. Besides, it is like $6 from Honda.
