So I'm  changing the cracked coolant distributor today, and am looking
to find a  way not to take an anti-freeze bath. Might be too much to hope
for; it  seems every time I get into that system I get soaked. But if
anyone's got  an angle, I'd love to hear it.
Deep sea diving suit  maybe?

NOT POSSIBLE, unless you drain the system  completely and blow dry for hours
! !  I just got doing another one  and did my best to get the fluid out and
yet still ended up with coolant on the  floor, in my beard down my sleeves etc !
