You can skip the drain part of the job. Leave the exp tank cap on.
Simply remove the rubber TB hose.
If you want to make it easy remove the three TB bolts and push it slightly out of the way w/o removing the coolant hoses, but this is not necessary.
Unbolt the two bracket bolts, have your new therm ready, unbolt the two therm bolts, quickly break the seal, rmove (coolant will flow) and reinstall w/ vent hole on top, replace cover and install bolts.
This is possible for switching between 82 and 89 therms each year w/o loosing much coolant or spending too much time. With practice this takes less than 30 minutes tools out/put away.
