How to bleed a 1997 ford taurus cooling system?

ok i just changed the water pump on my 1997 ford taurus the water pump impellers were completely rusted away and we filled the system with water so we could flush everything out of the system and we cant seem to find a bleeder screw anywhere on the engine also there is no way to fit up the radiator seperatly we have to dump everything in the coolant recovery tank we jacked up the front of the car and started it but we are still afraid of air bubbles in the system.How to bleed a 1997 ford taurus cooling system?that is a self bleeding system. after draining the radiator and closeing back up just put in a gal of pure antifreeze and then a gal of water do it slow then start the car and turn on the heat all the way up and finish up with pure antifreeze, as it burps itself it will let any extra out the cap. that car is designed that way.How to bleed a 1997 ford taurus cooling system?there's usually 5 bleeder screws:



2 on the left side of the block, near the bottom

2 on the right side of the block, also near the bottom

1 on the radiator, on the bottom usually on the right side.



Don't worry about bubbles and make sure to run the engine once you have it filled with the water to engage the cleaning process. Make sure you use Prestone Cooling System cleaner or a similar product!
