The Airlift or equivalent device works great. I just replaced my left radiator and refilled the coolant. I used an 'Airvac' from Princess Auto. It did a great job of holding vacuum to verify my hose clamps were well tightened and sucked in the right amount of coolant mix. It cost $70.00 CDN and paid for itself the first use. The rad cost $270.00 CDN delivered to my door from Rock Auto, it was a direct Behr replacement to the original.

All in it cost me under $400.00 CDN to replace the rad, fill the coolant and buy the Airvac. Plus my sweat and time. A heck of a lot less than going to a dealer or indie.
