Ah, right procedure, wrong pump. The vacuum trick will still work for getting all the air out that is already in. Finding where "new" air is getting in can be the main pain.

Unfortunately the tin can often gets pushed on when adjusting belts. Total NO NO. If the seal is disrupted "just enough" air can be drawn in but it will still hold the "head" pressure of the liquid in the reservoir ( no wet spot on outside ). Fords were notorious when they switched to...

NDT, is your reservoir can dented anywhere ? I am making the assumption that you have the cast metal pump that sticks out of a "tin can" reservoir. ( Sorry not somewhere that I can throw in a sample pic ) It only takes a tiny amount of air to turn the fluid to foam when the pump runs. My tip...
