To all of my cars I add one of those "radiator flush kit"
things that's a hose bib adapter "T" that goes inline in a
heater hose. I also ignore the directions and mount it on the
"highest" heater hose, with the cap facing up.

To bleed air, I simply crack the flush cap. Since it's at
the highest point in the engine (by hose arrangement, or I
can lift it up) above the radiator, when the engine's hot it
works perfectly as a bleeder.
