Find a piece of 1/8'' hose and make the necessary adaptors (using other
sizes of hose) to attach it to a funnel. Run the engine, then park it on a
hill, nose up. Take the grill off and take the bleeder screw off completely
once it cools a bit. Now add your 1/8'' hose and funnel (enough space around
the hose for air to escape) and fill the funnel with coolant. Once it's
full, install the bolt, drive, and repeat (once cooled). This is my favorite
way of bleeding the system. Easy. It takes time, but it's simple.
Give it a go Ryan. Build this apparatus and store it in the bus. You will
use it again.
