Its not very difficult, there is a little drain valve at the bottom of the radiator on the drivers side, front of the car. There are pictures and a description here:

But if you want to drain it completely switch your temperature control over to hot.

Here's some generic instructions:

There is also another drain valve that is difficult to reach, on the back of the engine (you can get to it from under the car or reaching behind the engine) that also supposedly drains coolant, although I don't really know what its purpose is because I think you can completely drain the system from the other drain valve (only a few drips came out when I opened the other valve on my car). Some more info can be found about the second drain valve if you look into the instructions for changing out the water pump (which is NOT an easy job).

Where is the bleed valve on 2000 Astra cooling system?

On a 2000 Astra, the bleed valve for the cooling system is typically located on the top of the radiator or near the thermostat housing. It is a small valve that allows air to escape from the cooling system when filling or bleeding the coolant. To access it, you may need to remove any covers or components obstructing the view. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting to bleed the system to avoid injury.

This should happen automatically. Are you losing coolant, is the cooling system leaking somewhere? Have you just changed the coolant? Unless there is a leak, the system should purge by itself.

Do you have to bleed radiator on 2000 Pontiac grand prix gt 3.8?

Yes, you may need to bleed the radiator on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with a 3.8L engine if you notice overheating or if you've recently changed the coolant or worked on the cooling system. Bleeding helps remove air pockets that can cause inefficient cooling. To bleed the system, you can use the bleed valve if equipped or run the engine with the radiator cap off, allowing air bubbles to escape until coolant flows steadily. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting this to avoid burns.
