You'll find mention of "airlift","UView" and similar tools. There are cheap chinese tools on Ebay that seem to work quite well. Just search for terms similar to :"Cooling System Vacuum Radiator Kit Refill & Purge ".
Many newer cars need this ,so a universal kit is probably a reasonable addition to your tool kit.
I've got the UView airlift and it worked like a champ the one time I have used it so far, on my Tacoma. I may try to tackle the job this weekend so I will report back.
