Default Upper Rad Hose

I have a split in my upper rad hose so I was going to swap it out with a fresh one. Do I need to drain the system or can I just take it off and stick the new one on?

Shouldn't have too, but some liquid will come out. So be prepared.

Sometimes the socket end of one of those universal screwdrivers fits really neat on the screw on a regular stainless hose clamp.
