It is not that hard. You can also warm it up with the cap off and slowly fill until completely full, a little rpm speed up will help, put cap on when full and fill reservoir 1/2-3/4.

Been doing it that way 55 years and never had a problem if you wait until thermostat is warmed up and open. You can rev it just a bit to force any air out. Never ever had a problem including my 99. Most goodhermostats ahve a small vent hole or "jiggle valve" to let air through anyway.

Just tighten them with 3/8 ratchet and don't strip them. If you have to measure them that is about 35-50lb depending on bolt size.
