Take cap off header tank, jack back of the car up sa high as you dare (watch the front). Give the pipes a squeeze if you can to move the air.

Without a doubt the best way I have found is, fill the c/c header tank with distilled water and 'wetter wetter'. Idealy have another person at the ready to top up c/c header tank. Connect a wet vac to the header tank return pipe and turn on. Not only does it do it very quickly it removes all air from system. Hope this helps, good luck.....
