How do bleed air from my radiator?
I have a 98 v70T 2.4 and it is overheating since I drained and flushed my radiator yesterday.
The hose to the thermostat is getting hot and have been told that means it's working, but you can feel the hose is not filling with fluid. Then the person told me that it probably has air trapped and that I need to bleed the radiator.
BUT the radiator does not have a bleed screw any place at all, so how would I go about doing so?
Please keep in mind that I am just learning about cars and flushing the radiator was something to be proud of for me.
Thank you for any help possible, and please be barney detailed.

Remove the thermostat and drive a little like that. Usually when you drain off the coolant, it will take a few days to fill it back up. Keep filling the bottle/resivor until it doesn't need filled up anymore. The thing is, if you overheat the motor you can damage it.
Why do you say it has overheated?
Is there still coolant in the resivor tank?
