the way i bleed my system, seeing as this bolt is usually so tigt i dont want to break it is... put coolant mix into ur resivoir till max line and radiator untill no more fits. with ur engine COLD, start the car with the radiator cap OFF. turn ur ac to hottest setting and full blast. ur gunna see a lot of bubbles of air comming out of the cap. no liquid comes out. u will just see air bubbles. turn off the car when it gets warmer. wait till the car cools down and repeat till u dont see anymore bubbles of air. trust me this is safe unless u forget to keep an eye on the needle inside the car. make sure it doesnt get too warm. i turn it off when it gets a quarter of the way. put ur cap back on and drive off ur system is now bled.

i have done this for years to all my cars...expensive and cheap and it always works fine.
Thanks for the tip. It's funny reading different approaches to correctly bleeding the system. Mostly they are about the same, but a few people do things a bit different.
