Having the vacuum thing is better, but since I never felt like buying one I either use engine vacuum or I suck on the hose. It's been a while though so I don't recall how well sucking on the hose worked.

You should be able to see it move from the underside through the holes.

I need to do the same but just don't care that much about it. My check engine light comes on when it isn't working. Sometimes I'll play with it. Make the light go on and off.
