Can't help ya' there, had the dealer just do mine while they were in there 
adjusting the valves and syncing the throttle bodies.  The rest I do myself 
mostly, sure wish I could see the above done to learn how...

Undo drain bolt in the side of the pump, open the radiator cap, let it drain 
into a bucket or a turkey roaster pan.  Dump a gallon of distilled water in, 
maybe circulate it a little? and drain that out.  Refill with decent coolant w/o 
silicates, like Honda premix.  Don't forget to get a new crush washer at the 
auto-parts store.

The Mighty-vac is a damn-handy thing to have.  But you can do it the old 
fashioned way: crack the bleeder open, squeeze the lever and hold, close the 
bleeder, release the lever.  Repeat repeatedly while keeping an eye on the 
reservoir level and refilling with clean DOT-4 brake fluid as needed.  Never let 
it get too low as to let air in or you'll have to really work to pump/clear that 
bubble out.  It helps to have a second person help with this.
