You don't exactly manipulate the inlet. If you remove the oil and coolant caps (and dipstick if you got em), you can then lift the black plastic cover/escucheon under them by carefully prying it up. Underneath you'll find the coolant bleed valve controlled by a 'D' ring. You lift the ring to open the valve and then run the engine (filled w/ coolant of course) and vary the rpms up to 2500 for 5 or so minutes and any air in the system will migrate to the open bleed valve - be sure to have some towels in the trunk in case any coolant overflows. It is sometimes necessary to repeat this procedure after several days.
