Easy Job. I jsut did mine on my 850 with 305k on it because the plastic had cracks where the hoses attach. I just sucked out the coolant with a turkey baster, disconnected the hoses from the overflow tank and took out the coolant level sensor (just take note of how it came out and it can be a pain putting back in the new tank as it is hard to get enough pressure with your fingers to press it back in). I didn't bother replacing the hoses as they looked fine. Re-attach the hoses( i added a little Rutland high temp silicone to help seal ) and re-attach the sensor and re-filled. Not a bad job at all.
