You remove either the filler cap on the radiator, or the cap to the surge tank. (Which ever one is the highest in relation to each other)
Start the car, put the heater controls on "Hottest" temp. with fan speed on high. Allow the car to warm up completely. (Keep the radiator cap off)
When the car is warm, have someone rev the motor up to 1,500 rpm, or stick something in the throttle to hold it open.
Look inside of the radiator or surge tank. Watch until there are no bubbles coming out. You may have to squeeze the upper radiator hose a few times to get all the air out.
Finally, make sure to fill the surge tank up to the proper level.
*NOTE*
Don't let the engine run too long with the radiator cap off. Only long enough to perform the air bleed.
