Mighty vac on pressure

If you have a Mighty Vac: open heater all the way on to allow coolant to free flow through the heater core (heater fan off) open the bleed screw & pack a few paper towels below it to soak up coolant. Remove the reservoir cap ("radiator cap") pull the small overflow hose from where the cap goes up to where you can hook it up to the pressure port of the Mighty Vac and gently press the palm of one hand down over the reservoir fill hole to make an air tight seal. Start pumping the Mighty Vac to pressurize the reservoir. Watch the bleed screw; after awhile of venting air a steady stream of antifreeze comes out (no frothing with this method), close the bleed screw. After putting everything back correctly and tightening everything back up I run the engine & test-open the bleed valve in case there is any errant air (Rasta Monsta style). Seems to work great.
