Is it safe for me to do a direct swap of my old coolant tank to my new dali tank? Or should I take it to my mechanic for a proper coolant bleed. I've been told I could get an air bubble in my coolant line by doing this myself.
 
I did mine myself, and no problems. Remember you will need some dishwashing liquid to help sli[p the hoses on, and a clean 5 gallon bucket to put the old coolant bottle in (quickly) after removal. Empty the old bottle into the bucket, and then pour the mixture into the new bottle after installing. Some hose clamps, or something similar, will help the hoses from draining all over your driveway.
 
I think there is a post on exactly how to do this in the FAQ's.
