If it doesn't want to bleed, park on a hill so that the front of the car is higher than the back, and bleed it that way. If it still doesn't want to go, fill the radiator tank with the bleed screw open, parked on the hill, and fill until water is coming out of the bleeder which will pretty much be all the way to the brim, and then bleed it. You'll have to remove some coolant when you're done if you use this approach though.

No bleeder screw on a mishimoto but where is your reservoir?
