Draining coolant

[JE 17]

I'm highly doubtful anyone has done this, but will try posting anyway.

In attempting a power steering pump change on a 2011 Turbo, it seems I'll have to remove the radiator to access the PS pump pulley bolts.

So, I see the process on AllData to do all this. What it doesn't explain is how to reach the lower coolant hose to drain coolant. It appears I *might * be able to unfasten the hose clip, but getting it back on WILL be a problem.

I hope I'm not breaking new ground on the forum here, but I suspect I'm alone in the wilderness!

Thanks.

In case it helps someone else in this situation, I discovered removing the fan and shroud allows sufficient access to remove the pump. This means no radiator work is needed besides the shroud removal. 

Should I need to drain or remove the rad in the future, I'll just take off the fan housing (and trust me, that's not a fun job, either!) You then then have access to the lower radiator hose to release the clip.
