Hello All
I have some confusion on replacing a coolant hose in the 2001 Boxster S that I own.

I have a hose crack causing a leak in one of the coolant hoses near the rear of the car, so I purchased an OEM replacement hose for it. This is a 3-way hose with a T-connector.


1) Can I replace the hose without draining most of the coolant ?

2) How do I do that ? Is there a specific clamping tool I need to buy to clamp the ends of the hose so that I can swap the hose out ? I did read the 101 Projects book and the tech article in Pelican parts website but I am not confident I understood the procedure correctly.

3) if the coolant drains out while replacing the hose, can I reuse it ? Porsche coolant is quite expensive if I have to replace all of it.

Any other tricks and tips that you may have ?

Please advise. Thank you in advance.
