On pulling the tank into the trunk to get to the hose clamps.

What I did was pull the rubber grommet on the main wiring harness. That wiring harness goes through the fire wall close to the coolant tank. There is a big rubber grommet where the harness passes through the firewall. I Just pulled the grommet up the wiring harness. I maybe even unplugged the harness and moved things to my advantage. this gives some room to reach in with needle nose pliers and grip the hose clamps as you pull the tank towards the trunk.
There is a video on youtube somewhere of a person using that method.

The oil fill tube is two piece I disconnected it in the middle (Engine bay).
Disconnect your hoses at the easiest end to get to.
From the top from below from the trunk what ever is easiest.
There is an over flow tube... it is only connected at the tank..the free end is held in a small plastic clip to a wiring harness if I remember correctly. Identify it. No reason to struggle trying to disconnect it from the tank. It can be removed after you have the tank out.
