HD Upgrade using time machine?

hi,

have mbp , sadly running out of hd space.
intend buy new hd, , fit myself.

however, there easy way copy current hd onto new hd using time machine?

ie if complete time machine backup, change hd, can restore directly time machine backup onto newer, bigger disk?

im running snow leopard, if makes difference!

many thanks.
