how I bleed mine...

Viola, after installing the center (3rd) radiator, I connected all the hoses and filled the system, started the engine until the thermostat opens (w/the heater valve open), then turn off the engine.

Then let it cool down, refill again the system, start the engine, let it cool down, refill, repeat, repeat, etc, etc,

It took me all afternoon and a six pack of beer But if you take your time, you will manage to slowly bleed the system.
I never had any issues with it afterwards.

PS, patience, patience.. ha!
