    the bleeder bolts can get stuck from corrosion if they havent been undone for a long time, causing them to shear off if forced

    if they can be unscrewed, coat the threads with grease

    with the bolts removed, place a garden hose in the radiator filler cap and surround with rag, and force water in until it runs from both boltholes, then replace the cap first, then the bolts
    a cracked cyl head results if the bleeder bolts arent used properly

    you need a 10 mm spanner/socket and there is one on the top radiator hose and the other on the top/front of the inlet manifold
    Click the scales.....you know you want to!!!!

    i wouldn't risk the bolts. just undo the top hose on the inlet manifold. get a big coke bottle so when pouring water in the radiator the end of the bottle is higher than the head. once water starts coming out the hose whack it back on.
