Use a fluid transfer pump, turkey baster, or large syringe with hose, to suck the fluid out of the reservoir before disconnecting it. Will reduce spillage to a few drips, vs. a torrent.
Or did you mean how do you remove all the remaining coolant in the CAR?
If that's the question, there's a how-to somewhere for draining the coolant.

you can just unbolt it and twist it out of the way, no need to drain it.
