This can  be done with a quick hand. You will lose a little coolant but it
can be  done. As for bleeding I have been told by a good source (and I'm sure
that  the list will correct this if it is innacurate) that later model
Vanagons  (I'm assuming your '87 fits this category) do not require bleeding
of the  coolant system. It will correct itself. You'll simply need to add a
bit of  coolant. Again, others may disagree with this but this is what I was
told  by someone I trust and it has been my experience in my  '90.

Absolutely  correct !  No problems !  Just do it and get over it !
