I used this technique today and had the coolant tank and hose manifold out in about 15-20 minutes. I found that the 2nd Dremel step of cutting the flanges off the tank connection was not necessary, I could pull the hose manifold out enough to remove the 3 hoses from the engine side, then move that out of the way and disconnect the cut end of the tank. Thanks so much for this!!

Waiting for a new oil filler hose to arrive then I can put everything back together.
