   Just leave the cap off with the engine running and it will bleed itself

   but there are higher points in the water system than the rad cap thats why when filling the cooling system you have to use a header tank
   
   there are three bleed points on the engine one to the top left of the engine (looks like a valve cap) one above the thermo(bottom right side of the engine) and one on the right of the rad
   
   there is a guide on here im sure
