Remove battery for coolant flush?
As per the Service Manual, the battery should be removed before replacing the radiator coolant. Why? It's not like the average person would be pouring coolant onto the battery while trying to get it in the little radiator hole. Just seems like overkill to me.
They also recommend to clean the terminal before replacing the battery so maybe it's a 2 for 1 deal (replace coolant and have clean battery terminals).

i think it's so you can pull out the over flow reseviour out easier, because youre supposed to dump that out too.
