For those who haven't done this job - a 15mm deep socket on a 1/2 drive with a 6" extension makes it FAR easier, along with a ratcheting 15mm FLAT socket (not angled).

I think I'd go ahead and recommend, for the at home DIYer, to just drop the lower coolant hoses at the same time since replacing a little coolant will be far easier (I think?) and will help prevent corrosion in the cooling system between full flushes....
