I rolled the car down the drop curb, so the front end was a bit higher then the back.
Popped off the radiator cap, loosened the black screw next to it
started the car, heaters on hot and full blast
Gave it some revs 2500k water sprayed out the black screw i loosened
Tightened the screw and put the radiator cap back on
Job done? or not..
Did i do it right? coolant bleeding

should be fine - you may want to check the coolant level when the car is cold though

The plastic bleed screws get very brittle with age, and often the head shears off, leaving the threaded part stuck in the hole.
Heat the end of a medium sized flat screwdriver to dull red, push it into the top of the broken stub, allow to cool and unscrew.
