Bleeding through the crossover tube question...

I have an 01-Z28 with the stock LS-6 intake. How do I go about bleeding the air out of the cooling system using the crossover tube???

I have read guys say this is a good way to bleed the system, but do not really know how to go about doing it.

Thanks for any help and advice everyone, I appreciate it!

I change mine with front wheels on ramps and pour coolant into the block through the upper radiator hose and have no probs with air in the system.

When a steady stream of coolant comes out of the tube, remove your thumb from the rubber side and push it back together. Top off radiator and put the cap on. Start it briefly, top off radiator again, and that's it.
