Question on Boxster Coolant Tank

A tip to make this change easier is that once you have one or two of the coolant pipes disconnected from the engine bay side there will be some play in the others.

You can have one person pull the tank away from the bulkhead. It will give by ~1", which is just enough to get some pliers in the gap to undo the remaining hose clips from the boot/rear trunk.

On refitting the same applies - i.e. the first hose or two you can get connected from the boot/trunk side before the others have to be done from the engine bay side.

Also, if you raise or cap off the bleed valve then you disconnect it you'll only loose the tank coolant and not have to refill the whole system. This reduces the final bleeding of the system time by quite a lot.
