I tackled this yesterday - wasn't that bad. E10 external torx ratcheting wrench is a MUST from my experience (unless you want to remove your intake manifold). I had to run to the store to pick up a set. I tried using 1/4" E10 socket with universal joints and extensions, but couldn't get at it.
I did not drain any coolant before hand. I caught about a liter from the hose connected to the housing in a coffee can. I did spill some, but had rags stuffed in the bay on top of the pulleys and stuff. No harm done.
I drained my oil and soaked up the remainder in the housing with a rag - was due for an oil change anyways.
All in all this was a pretty easy task - just that one bolt under the manifold that makes it a bit tricky.
