Burping an air filled coolant system: The better way

[1991KOTH]

Hey yall, just figured out a way to burp the coolant system of air that will work 100% of the time. I tried Haibecks method, but with little success.

Things youll need:
Rubber hose to connect to reservoir
Something to collect coolant with
A big Funnel
Coolant to refill your car
Turkey baster

Now, the first thing to do is siphon out the coolant until it no longer reaches the lower tube. The next step is to disconnect the lower tube and place it in something that will collect the coolant that drains out. Next, place the new piece of rubber tubing onto where the old lower tube was on the reservoir. Now place your funnel onto the reservoir to get ready to fill the system. Also place the new hose in the funnel. Now fill the funnel almost full. Start the car. Coolant should start to drain out of the funnel. Keep refilling it. Big bubbles should start to arise. Keep doing this until the system no longer accepts anymore coolant. Congrats! You have now burped the system with ease! Now reconnect everything the way it was.

Note: You may have to fill the coolant further after a short drive. I did.

I think if you reread the post a few times over, and visualize each individual step, you will understand it better.
It's actually very simple. The hardest part IMO is removing the lower hose on the reservoir in one piece. Sometimes it is really stuck on there...JMO

A side note....when you look into the reservoir (near the windshield) and undo the radiator cap, you will see two "tubes", an upper and lower tube that has hoses attached to them on the outside of the reservoir. I am also sure that is what he is referring too.
