Sorry for the repeat question. I have read most of the threads on how to bleed the coolant but I am still not quite sure that I did it right.

I just installed a rear cooler in my Attak. These are the steps that I did to bleed it.

Raised rear of sled and took out bleed screw.
Filled coolant bottle until coolant came out of bleed screw hole.
Put bleed screw back in.
Lowered rear of sled and raised front of sled.
Ran sled for about 5 mins with overflow bottle lid removed
Lowered front and raised rear.
Opened bleed screw until I could hear air escaping.
Let all air escape and then re-tightened bleed screw.
Ran sled again until both running board coolers were warm. The hose under the secondary clutch was also warm.

Here is what I am confused about.
How full should the rear cooler be? If I shake the rear of the sled I can hear coolant moving inside. I expected it to be totally full.
If the sled is level and running and I remove the bleed screw coolant won't pour out of that hole. Only a trickle will escape. I expected it to shoot out of that hole.

thanks,

Kevin
 
raise the rear , run the sled , crack open bleed screw a little air will come out , when you get just anti freeze tighten screw , make sure you always have coolant in bottle. dose not take long to get all the air out. this is how i do it works every time.
