    Bleed screw is messed up...suggestions on how to bleed M20

    I installed a new coolant temperature sensor and sending unit today to help the car idle a little better and to make sure the gauge cluster was working properly.

    How can I bleed the cooling system now? The bleeder screw on the thermostat housing is rusted and stripped and I have no chance of undoing it. There were a few bolts where the hoses attached to the housing that I was thinking of loosening but wasn't sure.

    Fill it, drive the car, re-fill it the next day, repeat till full. I filled mine once and have had no problems since, didnt even use the bleeder.

      Get another housing that has a decent bleeder screw.
