Try them all, I'm sure you'll know you found the right one when it starts pouring out...

Your right, the bleed screw is on the top corner of the rad next to the PAS fluid cap.
There are also 2 bleed valves on the water rails below your airboxes but personally, I've never had to touch them. I managed to re-fill my system just using the rad one.

Agree with this. I didn't have to touch mine on the bleed rails. In fact, Joolz recommends not to touch them.

Usually takes about 6 cycles of hot/cold to get all the air out. If you have a jumping trmp guage then there is still air in the system somewhere.
