And it isn't that hard to remove. Other than if the hoses on the tubes going to the throttle body are old and stuck. Not much coolant loss on a cold engine. Just wrap some rags around to catch the seepage.

The Idle screw might have carbon build up and is easy to clean. Screw in all the way counting the number of turns so you can put it back close. REmove, clean and reinstall.
