Fast:
Don't bother raising the front of the van.
Remove the black plastic grill from the headlight/radiator.
Remove the bleed screw from the top of the radiator on the driver's side.
Run the engine and rev it at 3000 rpm (yes, 3 thousand).
Be prepared to replace bleed screw as soon as the coolant starts to geyser from
the bleed hole.
Be prepared to top up the coolant level.

(this procedure was first described to me by Frank Codelli and it even works :-)
