TB gasket cooling side/ bleeding system

[KillerCalypso]

I came out to my car this morning and found coolant everywhere i traced it to the gasket on the throttle body that had deteriorated so much it has created a leak in the system. I can get the gasket, screws, and a few hoses while im at it today. Tomorrow morning i will be putting this in. My question is this. The system lost a lot of coolant and i assume i will have to refil and bleed so there is no air in the system and if so what is the easiest way to bleed? is there a bleed screw on the radiator? Is it any tricks or tips? Also, how much coolant does the system hold, i think its 1 gallon 50/50 mix with distilled water.

Thanks for the help guys

I forget the exact amount of coolant but its a lot more than 1 gallon.

There is a bleeder on top of the thermostat housing. Make sure you turn your heat on at full blast and let the engine get hot enough to open the thermostat before you start bleeding.

Thanks, your right TJ its about 2.5 gallons. I'll use the bleed screw on the thermostat housing untill i get all the air out then top off the system after it cools.
