Changing out an Expansion Valve

Changing out an Expansion Valve
Hey Gang,
I'm trying to work out some AC issues on a 98 RR SE. My next step is swapping out the expansion valve. I checked with a local shop, they wanted 100 to install the valve, 150 to recharge, and 300 for the part. I grabbed a valve from Rock Auto for 19, but they refuse to put my parts in the truck.
I have the Rave CD and it looks like the install is pretty straight forward. Has anyone done this before? I don't have any tools to release the pressure on the system, if I unhook the hoses, I assume that the coolant will escape, and require a recharge, correct?
My plan was to install the valve myself and have the shop recharge the system for me.
Thanks!
