pump water in with a hose at the bulk head to the heater, then at the top hose to the rad also in the filler tank. close it all up and run to circulate keeping an eye on the level. take the small pip off the rad to allow air out and also blow down it to clear coolant so air can pass into water tank!

i also raise the exp tank side of the car on a ramp or high kerb!
