The large cooliant hose is reachable via the top when in service mode and has a hose clamp that needs to be released, with the hose clamp tool and facing towards the front of the car reaching behind it is not that difficult to reach.

Just look with flashlight first to locate hose and clamp and then the rest is via feel, the way I found best to reach and unclamp was to lay the tool on the top of rear fender (on a towel) and then holding the cable end of tool with one hand and feeling the clamp with other to hook onto clamp and best way for me to reach was if I face forward and reach behind me to do it.

Once you are in there you will know what I am talking about.
