Make sure to get a set of long wire brushes. I found getting the oil out of the runners first was a bit easier because the walnuts stick to it an make a bigger mess

Just make sure the valves your working on are closed. There is always one open and 3 closed. Just put a socket on the crank in the passenger wheel well and you can feel when a valve opens as you turn the wrench.

Where did you get that vac attachment? Id love to know how that worked : )

It's meant for a BMW or mini but it works fine for cobalts. The actual part that goes in the valve runner is slightly too small but once you hook up the vacuum and blaster it stays on with suction.
Many different vacuum heads fit on it as well which is nice
