syphon it out from the overflow tank. this job took me 3hrs and i have never removed the plenum prior. bleeding is easy, start the car and rev to like 2500rpms for 20 -30 secs. turn car off and loosen bleed screw, when the bubbles stop and fluid comes out tighten the screw back down. i hear this plastic screws break easy so careful. go for a quick drive to get it up to temp then purge air from screw again. you aren't draining the block so its not that complicated.
