Default Um.... I may be an idiot, but.....

Just changed the water pump on my '02 Concorde with a 2.7. Hve everything back together and getting ready to put coolant back in it. Looked up the procedure for bleeding the system properly and it references a bleeder valve located on the top of the water outlet housing. My water outlet housing doesn't have a bleeder valve on it. Any way to bleed it without replacing the housing?

Just to be sure I'm looking at the right part... this is the water outlet housing, isn't it?

The water outlet housing of the 2.7L engine as installed in the Sebring has a bleeder on it. Be glad yours doesn't. It's just a source of trouble. Search the Sebring forum here if you're curious.
Anyway, the system will bleed itself after several warm-up and cool-down cycles. Drive it for a few days and then top off the coolant when cool. You'll be fine.

Thanks! I didn't see this until after I'd already replaced the water outlet housing (I had to have it back on the road in a hurry). I did keep the old one in the event that I have issues with the one I put on that has the bleeder valve Thanks again!
