Those lower coolant hoses attach right next to the coolant drain, so if you remove them, you will lose most of your coolant. Either find a way to get it out, or resolve to change your coolant.

I had the opposite experience bleeding my cooling system that jmatta did. My car did not bleed correctly the first time. That destroyed my coolant cap because the car got too hot. I tried bleeding it 3 more times without success. Every time I did, I blew out a ton of coolant. At $30 a gallon, you don't want to be doing that (not to mention it's poison and not good for the environment).

I'd recommend using a vacuum bleeder.

It sounds like you should do it based on the condition of your hoses though.
