Bring car up to temp, Loosen bolt with 14mm socket, if air comes out let it bleed until water comes out, then close. If water comes out then system is fine.
But I like to make sure even if water comes out right, close it up wait a few and try once more to see if you get air. nothing more to it than that.
For the most part the system is self bleeding if there is a little air in it, but for large pockets do the above.

Ciao!
