Default Help! Got Air Into Coolant Lines...now What?

Well after installing my 5/16 spacer I started up my car not realizing that I forgot to reconnect the coolant line that goes in the back. Well after some spilled coolant on the floor, I reconnected it and filled up the radiator and reserve. Now I notice that when I start up the car I can hear the coolant moving, sounds like a waterfall. Well after talking to Tony at motordyne, I was told that I would need to purge the air out of the coolant lines. He said that I would have to disconnect a coolant line and purge the air out of some sort of valve until I see the coolant. Can anyone tell or show me exactly how to go about this because I'm not to knowledgeable when it comes to things like this. I need a thorough procedure on what I need to put my hands on and how to do it. Thanks and sorry for being so clummsy

Thanks...this helps a lot. Now I know I'm going the right direction. Should I just drive the car to the dealership and have them do this for me? The car isn't overheating or anything..its just making this weird noise like water trickling.

You can do it yourself it takes about 20 minutes and a screw driver.
