Unplug the line that goes from the bottom of the throttle body to the radiator fill neck. Fill up the car until water runs out of that hose.

With the direction our coolant flows I think its gonna self bleed pretty quickly on its own even if you dont do much to help it.

Default How to bleed the engine coolant??

I guess this post goes here, but I'm replacing the engine temp sensor and i heard you have to bleed the coolant afterwards? Also Do i need to drain the coolant out, or just take the old sensor out and slap new in?? I know some will run out, but it would be alot faster than draining.

Where is a easy line to get to to unplug and bleed it??
