Jack up the front of the vehicle, take the radiator cap off and let the car run to operating temp. Once you stop seeing bubbles coming from the radiator, shut it off and put the cap on. Then open the bleed screw near the thermostat and turn it back on again, letting it run until no more bubbles come out of the bleed screw. tighten the bleed screw and you're done.

Not to be rude, but based on your previous threads here this week, it would be beneficial to you to either buy a repair manual or download the CRX Workshop Manual (everything covered mechanically would apply to the Civics as well). Good luck.

Here's the link for the manual: http://www.honda.co.uk/car/owner/workshop.html

it is right next to the oil fill cap. It is where the top radiator hose connects to the block. A little nut type thing on the top, loosen but dont remove it. It will bubble and spit a little coolant. Once it turns to a steady stream coming out, you are good to go. check it again after you drive it a while and make sure ur tank is filled correctly. This is where I bled my coolant at, I may be wrong, but it worked and it is where the manual says to for my a6 so....good luck and let us know how it goes. No caps lock either, there is no need for yelling here

Did you use the bleed screw? It tells you how to do this in the manual.
