Can't think of anything particularly tricky involved in it. Just remember an intercooler has air in it, not water :grin: (my brother made that mistake, had me laughing for weeks)

tis very easy, even has a drain tap at the bottom hose on the rad, just twist it one way and it opens and drains it, then when done twist it back the otherway... saves messin about spearing your self whilst trying to undo rusty jubilee clips like in the days of old...
