best way to do it.. let the car sit for about 30 mins to cool down. or if the car is already cold then skip this
pop off the radiator cap off. start the car. Turn the heat on defrost and turn it all the way up.
let the car run til it reaches operating temperature. add coolant as it burps down. and wait til the coolant doesnt burp any more

temp gauge spikes, heater doesnt work unless the engine is under load.
I "massage" the upper and lower radiator hoses, as well as the heater inlet and outlet hoses. heater on high as said earlier. It goes pretty quick.

if you have a d series motor, there's a bleeder where the thermostat is. I just fill it with coolant until it comes out the bleeder and then close the bleeder.

For the USDM b series i've seen, no. But look at where the thermostat is. You can't miss it.

This will work or you can use a Tool that a couple of companies make that allows for you to do less work, I got mine through snapon so i could get all the radiator types and cap sizes i needed. All the tool is, is a funnel with detachable radiator cap on it with a hole im the middle of if. The tool also comes with a plug for the funnel. What you do is, first make sure the car is cool. Remove your radiator cap. Put the radiator cap on that came with tool , then attach the funnel to that radiator cap. Then you add coolant to the radiator until the coolant fills up about half way up inside the funnel. Next turn the car on along with your heat and defroster so your heater core opens up. Now wait for the thermo to open up add coolant if needed so that keeping coolant in the middle of the funnel. When the thermo starts to open the coolant in the funnel will start bubbling (burping). Wait for it to stop, when it does you will know all your air is out of your cooling system. Then take your plug , and plug off the funnel. Now turn your car off , and let it cool . Last remove your tool and put your stock radiator cap back on.
