4. Remove the screw from the air bleed hole located in the cooling system hose.
5. Remove the screw (in the air bleed hole) from the heater outlet hose.
6. Slowly pour coolant into the expansion tank until a continuous stream of coolant begins to flow from the air bleed hole on the cooling system hose.
7. Insert the screw into the hole in the coolant hose and tighten it.
8. Continue filling the cooling system until fluid flows out of the hole in the heater outlet hose.
9. Insert the screw into the hole in the heater outlet hose and tighten it.
10. Continue adding fluid until its level reaches the neck of the expansion tank and stops.
