Default Coolant T fitting access.

Are these easy to access if you have the top of the motor opened up (like you're replacing the plastic coolant pipes), or is bottom access the only option?

I used both and needed both. I put the parts together and put them in place from the top, got the lower hose started from the bottom and was able to push it home from the top and then get the clamp on from the bottom. The other 3 were not bad. Still scratched and bruised the crap out of my hands and forearms. Here is the link to my story.

Good to know. I guess my metal coolant pipes are leaking. Likely install error or something, and they're still under the 2 year porsche warranty. So, trying to figure out if it's better to just fix it myself, and do the T's at the same time, or take it to the dealer and have them fix it. I'm kind of thinking that if I do it, I'll do the thermostat, water pump, coolant reservoir, and everything else associated with the coolant system.
