yes i know i used the search function and got all the same posts as you guys, my question is how to actually do it, i know where the bleeder is... but like while idling, opp. temp, stuff like that....

 

it's clearly stated in the link that was posted.

so....you take off the radiator cap, top off with coolant/water mixture.

start the car with the heater on.

squeeze the upper and lower radiator hoses, you will see bubbles rising, and eventually the coolant will be pulled into the radiator as the lower radiator hose opens, proceed to top it off, give the car a few revs.

let the fan kick on a few times and then cap it up.

not too hard.

 

There is a bleeder screw on the thermostat
housing that you can loosen to bleed the air out of the system.
