Just used this DIY and finished the job in just over 2 hours. THANK YOU, OP, FOR SAVING ME SOME $$$!!!!

I'd highly recommend anyone doing that to buy the coolant to block o-ring and have it on hand for the job. Mine was toast and unfortunately I didn't have the o-ring. Managed to work it in and it is holding without any leaks but the first place I stop tomorrow after work will be the dealership to grab a replacement.

Excellent DIY.

I picked up a set of female torx sockets and I had absolutely no problems on the 3 OFH bolts.

Take your time, prepare yourself, study this DIY repeatedly, take your time again... and you'll be fine. I'm no mechanic and I managed to get this done pretty quickly. Fast enough that I started when the 49er game got going and finished in time to sit and watch the 4th quarter.
