Default NP.. what u should do is use a syphon and suck out the coolant in the expansion tank..(m)

then take off all the hose (there are two. Hold them high enough so that the coolant in the radiator wont flow out. Remeber to remove the coolant level sensor from the bottom of the old tank also.

Dont forget to flush the inside of the new-tank thoroughly before that. Need to be squicky clean before install.

Then bring in the new tank, screw in the hoses to the new tank, including the coolant level-sensor to the bottom. Then top up the expansion tank.
Bleed the system, u should be done in 20 minutes max i think ...Good luck yo~
