you drain the coolant at the bottom of the radiator and refill.

if you want to bleed out the air you loosen the bleed bolt on top of the thermostat and wait until air stops coming out - meanwhile topping off the radiator.

isnt the easy way to do it, is to leave the radiator cap off while the car warms up fully, to let all the air out the system.
Make sure the radiator fan turns on then you can put back the radiator cap
