  If you have "shop air" - the best thing you'll ever invest in - 
radiator/coolant-wise
  is one of those handy dandy vacuum radiator fillers.

  No "bleeding", No nonsense.

  Suck the air out - uses the Bernoulli effect to create a vacuum from the
  passing of high-pressure shop air.

  Then put nifty little tube into container of coolant - turn valve.

  sucks the coolant into the system - done.
