... for refilling and bleeding the coolant system on a 1.9 after it's
been drained for a radiator replacement?

The van will initially have its nose lifted for the rad replacement, but
since it's pointed downhill a bit, it will pretty much be level. We
could push it backward and off the ramps under the front wheels so the
nose is down.

* I know, I know, many here hate the idea that I work on my van on my
sloped driveway, but I don't want to re-start that discussion, please.
