dont forget to put the heater on the "HOT" position. my little trick what i do if you have the time is to jack up the car on the coolant Res side of the car to help gravity feed all the spots. Then every so often i squeese the top Radiator hose to get rid of air bubbles. after a few min the coolant res tank settles and no more coolant is needed. Set the car down. squeese the top radiator hose again. Then i jack up the front of my car ( mine is lowered) so that the bleed screw kinda becomes a high point. i then open up the bleed screw and squeeze the radiator hos untill coolant flows out. and close it before i release the squeeze pressure on the hose. and keep repeating untill there's no more air.
That's basically how i do it, it's time consuming but if it's done right i wont have to do it again for another 2-5 years when the coolant needs to be flushed?
Don't forget to use distilled watter.. wall-mart gots it pretty cheap
Or you can just open up the bleeder and put a water hose on the coolant res untill only watter flows out of the bleeder screw :P
It wouldn't be a bad idea to use the water hose idea to just flush the radiator. alot of calcium and lime buildup came out of mine, even more when using one of those 5 min prestone flushes
