Do you have a compressor?
just find a way to plug the compressor to the coling systhem and check for air leaks.
what i did in my car when i changed the water pump was to take the old colant resivoir plug out made a hole on it and with an old iner tube valve, i bolted the towo togeder in order to create a tigth fit then i put the plug in the resivoir and conected the air presure gaige to it. 👿
