The only really sure way to bleed the thing perfectly the first time is to
stand the van straight up with the nose in the air. Then you just need a
twenty foot step ladder and a real skinny funnel... ;-)>


I have a 28 foot extension ladder which I hope is an acceptable substitute
for the 20 foot step ladder Coby suggested for the UPSIDAISY mehod of
bleeding air from the cooling system.  Next time I have to flush and fill,
I'll try it and let you know if it works as well as your step ladder
technique.
