| I need some help I found some info over at RF but pics woulod be the best help
From RF
to bleed the coolant system is kind of tricky... there is a bleeder screw on top of the port from the upper hose going to the head. It is where the stock temp sensor is located. With the Rhino cool, crack open that screw, about 3/4 of the way out. then fill up the radiator. You should see coolant coming out the screw. once it comes out of the screw, close it. Then fire up the rhino, leaving radiator cap open, and let it idle for about 30 seconds, then crack the bleeder screw again until you get a steady flow of coolent coming out, then close it. Turn off the engine, and top off the radiator. Go drive it around, getting it fully warm for a little while, and do the whole process once more just to make sure, after it cools down. That should get you going again. If you notice you are having random temp changes on the gauge, there is probably still air in the system.

| Open your hood and prop it open. Open your radiator while your system is cold. Take a floor jack and jack the front end up high enough that the radiator opening is higher than the engine. Start the engine and let it idol as it warms up and your thermostat starts to open the coolant will start to flow though the radiator. When this happens you will start to see air bubbles coming out and may need to add more coolant. I have done it this way many many times. | |

| no there is no need to open the bleeders. the air will end wup at the highest point which will be your radiator opening. | |
