fill the radiator and reservoir with water and when it gets to the top of the radiator cease halt filling it and rock the car back and forth till the air bubbles stop coming and then top it off and you should be good to go.
8.45 qts total cooling system capacity
I'm not sure why you would want to do this. The fuel pressure reguator will automaticly bleed air from the system.
You have to remove the bottom radiator hose.
The whole cooling system takes about 6 quarts.
If the cooling system is working properly, it will bleed itself.

To bleed air from the cooling system, take off the radiator cap and let the engine run. IF there is no radiator cap(some vehicle manufacturers have done away with them, just add coolant to the overflow tank to the correct level. The cooling system will purge air out on it's own
According to the 1999 Ford Escort owners manual : The cooling system capacity with a manual transmission is 5.3 quarts / 5.0 liters The cooling system capacity with an automatic transmission is 6.3 quarts / 6.0 liters So , with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water : The cooling system with a manual transmission takes 2.65 quarts / 2.50 liters of antifreeze The cooling system with an automatic transmission takes 3.15 quarts / 3.0 liters of antifreeze T
Thru the bleed valve on the slave cylinder attached to the transmission.
There is no heater control valve fitted on a Ford Escort. The heater matrix is directly connected to the engine's cooling system. To reach the heater matrix, you should remove all the facia unfortunately... :(
Yes it is.
If there is not bleed valve for the coolant you will have to do it manually. Fill the radiator up and start the car. After it warms up the coolant level will drop, refill it.
