ic pump bleeding
Hi, i did a johnson cm30 pump swap and trying to bleed the system. I can hear the pump running but i can't get the coolant to flow through the tube attached to the bleeding nipple. What should i do?

After I lowered the hose to the floor it started running but I did not see any bubbles to come out. I ran down almost a gallon (adding coolant to the reservoir at the same time so it would not get low) and I saw zero bubbles. When I took the car for a test drive it accelerated perfectly, I did not have the " heated slug" problem anymore that made me replace the pump. I guess I would have to take it to the freeway when it stops raining to do a chain of some hard pulls to tell for sure. Could it be that bleeding was not required or did I do something wrong?
