Hey guys I broke down and bought a new coolant expansion tank and would like to know what is the best way to install this.
Do I need to drain the whole system or is there a way I could change it w/o draining all of it.

yea i also just pull the lower rad hose and let it drain out as much as needed to empty the tank. undo the two hoses, swap the tank, reattach hoses, refill, bleed it.
i'm just using prestone 50/50 premix. mt. dew stuff.

I am using the non-phosphate from Toyota as I had it left over from my Prius. It is designed for all aluminum applications. If this is bad someone please let me know.
