My mechanic jacks up the REAR of my van to do the bleeding of air from the
system. You can do the same by parking on a really steep grade, opening the cap
on the
coolant expansion tank and letting it run a while. This is the easiest way. That
jacking up the front and bleeding is a PITA.

Good luck.
