    How do i bleed the system? Do i have to bleed it at the thermostat or is there a safer way that doesnt involve hot liquids spewing out at me?

    Hot liquids aren't going to "spew" at you. I do it all the time. Just warm the car up until your upper radiator hose is hot (means the thermostat is open). Put a socket on the small brass bleeder valve on top of the thermostat housing. Open it slowly. Air will come out (that you probably won't noticed) and eventually you'll see some coolant ooze out slowly (since you were opening the valve slowly it won't come out fast). Close valve, and done.
