Steve...

work on a cold engine, put a pan under the car, use an adjustable crescent wrench ( or open ended if you have one thats bigger than 25mm) and work quickly -

I loosened the existing one with the wrench, took it off with my left hand while standing by with the new one in my right.

I first turned the new one counter clockwise, then clockwise to ensure that the threads were lined up ( and minimize the chance of cross threading the new one)

If you work quickly, you can minimize the coolant loss.
