I have replaced radiators and flushed coolant a few times without using an Air Lift. I followed the proceedure from the Bentley you outlined through a full warm up, then some revs to about 5k rpm. (don't hold the 5k rpm) After it cooled and was topped back off, I drove it around for a couple days with the bleeder valve open and a gallon of distilled water in the trunk. Once or twice the level dropped significantly or put some coolant out the overflow and I just topped it off.
I was just in your home town on Saturday. Looked for a Boxster as I drove around, but no sightings the whole time I was in Mass.
