How to pressurize abc system in emergency ?

I read in the valve block thread that its possible to pressurize the abc system manually- by using an air compressor in the abc fluid reservoir , to get the car back up- can someone please explain exactly how to do this ?

I have a CL with bad abc pump and its too low to drive or tow to shop or even get a jack under it . If anyone can explain how to manually pressurize the abc system using an air compressor in the abc fluid reservoir, and if that will get all 4 corners up, even temporarily , please advise !!

Pressurizing the system is to get the pump to prime when dry. It will not help a bad pump raise the car.

The dealer has fixed blocks you can put in the wheel wells to hold the car level. I have used wood blocks in the past. You may have to jack the car up from the OEM jack ports, until you can get a big jack under the car.
