Bleeding Cooling System

[TwoFortyCoupe]

Is there any particular way that my 240sx ka24de should be bleed because I cant seem to get out the air bubble thats in there already.
I've tried the bleeder screw on top but I don't know how to properly bleed it.
Thanks,

Park with the front end raised somehow (to have the radiator as the highest point in the system) and radiator cap open, let it idle at operating temperature and add coolant as required until you don't need to add anymore.

The bleeder screw is snapped clean off on my ka. For bleeding I put the car on jack stands wit the radiator open. This can be a very messy process as you should run the car at 3k rpm after its at operating temp. For approx 15 minutes or until no more air bubbles out of the radiator.
Tip: i stick an inverted plastic bottle into the radiator neck, the bottom has been cutoff as to create a sort of large funnel. Electrical tape works well around the mouth of said bottle to make it fit snug into the radiator neck. There are 2 main benefits to this, filling this allows you to raise the bleed level and air bubbles become visible. Don't fill it too much tho cause you'll have to take it off once the bubbles stop.

cool idea...

i was thinking of getting the following tool though



so if you can't elevate the front end that much, this method will help ?

the only way i've ever been able to bleed my coolant system is to jack up the front end use a combination of leaving the radiator cap off and i have that handy dandy coolant system bleeding assembly that goes on in place of your radiator cap same concept as the the inverted plastic bottle just no tape... and the bleeder screw...

damn, i need that in my life. as long as this level stays filled above the point where the bleeder screw is, all air should flow to it. if you have a bleeder screw use it as well (i dont, FML).
