^^^If you use that method w/ the factory bleeder you need to park the car on a downward incline then run it with the bleeder open.

...But in full disclosure I use an Airlift. Way more predictable, no chance of leaving any air behind, and way easy.

One word of advice...mix and get all of the coolant you need in a big 5 gallon or larger bucket. Once the Airlift starts sucking up coolant into the system you cannot easily switch between coolant bottles w/ the strainer pickup tube without introducing some air into the system.
