It doesn't have to come off first IIRC, but it would be better to so you don't break off the terminals, which do break off easily. I forget what, but something crams on good enough to grab it. Crescent adjustable wrench sounds right.
I'm sure your oiling system is full of coolant, so you may want to devise a plan to try to clear out as much as you can. Maybe spinning the starter would work pretty well but would make a mess. You may need to clear out as much as you can that way, then warm up the assembled ready to run motor with fresh oil and a filter, then drain and change again, kind of like an oil system flush. Maybe you could throw some seafoam into the second change, drive 30 miles or so, and change one last time.
