Has anyone ever tried this method to bleed all the air out of their WBX. I take a plastic gallon jug and make a hole one the bottom big enough for an aquarium air hose to be stuck in. Then I remove the air bleed screw on the radiator and stick the other end of the air hose in the bleed hole. Fill the gallon jug with anti/mix and it fills the system up in no time. Engine does not have to be running. I wouldn't recommend to do this while the engine is hot. Easiest way to get all the air out. I can't see any problems to doing it this way and haven't had any problems so far. Hope this tip helps someone. Aloha, Ed
