Unless you have the necessary equipment, you cannot degas it yourself.

What equipment?
I was just going to unbolt the radiator and let it go.
Just wondering if I can legally do it with hychill.

To degassing it legally u do need to reclam the gas this uses a vacuum pump to suck the gas out. But if u just crack a hose it will vent all the gas out and be degassed but this is illegal

If its hey hill hyper chill or super chill then you are allowed to vent that off. And u don't need a license for that gas. I've got a bottle in my shed for top ups to systems

No worries it's a hydrocarbon based gas will probably have green die in the gas too
