coolant/antifreez replacment

Quick easy question for an easy job.

i need to replace the coolent iv done it before but carnt remember if theres anything you need to do?

Dranning is via the tap on the rad, is it a case of then flushing and then replacing with new coolent. let the engine get up to temp and look/refill etc.

or do i need to undo the 13mm on the water pump to refill it, to allow the air out?

thanks in advance nathan

i just drained mine thru the tap on the rad with the cap off
but i kept the draind fluid and reused it as its still clean and pink was only to do the C/C mod

for refill i shut the tap then filled the bottle then ran the engine and made sure it was always topped up once the 2 pipes in the top of the water bottle show signs of flow its beld thru

the 2 pipes in the bottle are bleeders one from the top of the rad and one from the top of the thermostat housing
