Default Upper Radiator House-EBCM Removal

Well finally got the EBCM out of my 2002 Coupe and shipped to ABSFixer today. What a pIta to remove. I replaced the headlight motor 3 months ago and it was much easier. Thinking about removing the upper radiator hose for the reinstall. Has anybody tried this and if so did it help?
i don’t have a way to jack the car up to drain the antifreeze and wondered how much of the antifreeze would drain out when removing the upper hose. It is the original and has a Nov-2001 date stamp. Hopefully the reinstall will be easier.
Thanks for any guidance.

it's easier to install the ebcm from under the car if you have a way to get under it

how much antifreeze should be in the existing radiator hose when I remove it. Car will be sitting for 2 days before removal.

I sent mine to ABSFixer. Their website has a PDF for removal. It is a PITA. I did remove my upper radiator hose for the reinstall and it was much easier. Went ahead and replaced it since it was the original and 16 years old.
