Thanks in advance.

You can either leave the radiator cap off and start and let idle till it sucks it down (might spill over though)
Or you can fill and cap radiator, then undo the screws on the metal coolant lines with a screwdriver.
Don't remove them just loosen a bit and wait for coolant to start to come out, then just tighten them back up.

Sorry, if you don't want to drain and just bleed the system (if you think you have air bubbles) I would just leave the radiator closed (top screwed on, capped, whatever lol) and unscrew the screws until coolant comes out.
