Thermostat replacement
Hey all, just got my new thermostat and coolant in from FCPAuto, replacing it on my 2011 GLK 4Matic, any tips/hints/tricks/tools I should know? I'm pretty mechanically inclined but this'll be the first replacement of anything on this since we bought it.

Drain about a half to full gallon of coolant, pull the upper rad hose off the housing, pull the housing, replace in reverse order and fill? Is there an air bleeder for these anywhere?

Thanks!
