I am confused about how you bleed the coolant system. I know where the screws are for bleeding, but do not know exactly how to do it. I looked in the book, found nothing.

turn on the car and open the bleeder screws. You will hear air coming out. Close the screws once you get a stream of coolant coming out.

Thats pretty much it. Just get all the air out. You can buy a neat tool just for it. Its a funnel with differing attachments for the radiator caps that allows you to run the motor up to full temperature and keep several inches of water in the funnel.
