Proper Coolant System Bleeding Procedure
Can some one tell me the proper way to bleed the coolant system? Are you supposed to do it running? Hot or cold? Sequence of bleeder valves? Etc...

yup, car needs to be running w/ bleeder screws open, i recomend doing one at a time to make sure you don't get any coolant/water on your opti.
