Really? We have repaired the aftermath of your "no problem" procedure more than once; average bill: around $2K. When Duncan posted this method, not everyone read the small print and promptly jacked up the air pressure.

Oh, and air pressure does not get everything out, at best you are going to recover around 85-90% of the coolant as it tends to lay in low spots allowing the air to go by. If you want 100% drainage, you will need to disassemble the car, or flush it a couple of times with clear water before refilling it with coolant mix.
