He's filling through the top of the radiator bleed hole.  I've done it as a
top-off check.  I used a squeeze bottle to fill to the top of the radiator.

I don't understand this...

"filling the radiator from the bleeder hole..."

and

"Fill the jug with premix fluid and fill till fluid comes out the
bleed hole..."

Coolant in the bleed hole... fluid out the bleed hole. So, where does
the air go?
