80 amp breaker installation

I had some issues on our trip this week so I ordered one of these 80 amp breakers and expect it to be delivered today.

Is there a special sequence for installing it? Or is it as simple as - disconnect at the battery + disconnect both poles on the existing breaker and remove + mount the new breaker and re-install wires + connect to battery again.

I think I remember reading the the poles on the new breaker are too big for the existing cables and I may have to drill into the connection to enlarge the holes...correct?

I suppose I would prefer to install the breaker in the “off” position then push to reset once it is all in...but how do you get it into the off position manually? Maybe I’m over thinking it and this will be apparent once I have it in hand.
