Any coolant in upper radiator hose on IS300?

I had a quick look through the rad cap last night, and there was possibly some coolant pooled in there, but couldn't really see for sure.

I've just taken delivery of a new radiator hose set for the IS, and was planning on installing the upper hose tonight. Is there much coolant in there, or can I pretty much pull it off without worrying about putting buckets underneath to catch it all?

With the engine off/cool all I think I could see in there was about 1mm worth of coolant running along the bottom of the hose.
My worry was if I removed it, would just that 1mm dribble come out, or would it kinda equalize everywhere else and spill out a load of coolant from the engine and rad.
I should just wait for when I get the S/C installed, but if you know me. You'll know how hard it is for me to 'wait' :p
Really?? Its certainly not that!

Jim, I'm very disappointed in you - the possibilities you had when choosing a thread title involving draining your hose all over the place and you picked the sensible option...

Sorry
I feel like a total let down now.I would go back and change it but it wont let me.
"Can I shake my black hose dry?"
"Will warm smelly stuff go everywhere if i pull my hose of?"
"Will I leak over the floor if i take my hose out?"
Any of those take your fancy?

Nah your status of "wants to be forcibly inducted" is suggestive enough as it is.....
