This one is simple...
Heat the van up  (so the thermostat is open). Drive up a driveway so the
nose is a foot to a foo and a half higher than the tail. Take off the grill.
Open (loosen) the bleed valve on top of the radiator (13mm wrench) and wait
for the steam to stop and coolant to come out. Tighten the bolt, turn off
the engine.


That otter do it.
