Long time ago I wanted to get the air out of my cooling system 88 spg. So a guy told me to just loosen the copper octagon bolt. So I stood in the direct line of the bolt and started loosening bolt. Well after turning forever I saw no dribble of coolant. ( car was running at the time & hot as a motherfcker) So a couple of more turns and within a millisecond the tho whole bolt., (base and all) falls out shooting coolant right in my face and neck! I throw the wrench in the air started spitting coolant and wiping it from my eye. Ran up to a house I did not even know, banged on the door and was attended to by a 75 year old lady. Had burn on my face and neck and arms from where the coolant saturated under the long sleaves I was wearing. Talk about almost loosing my Eye. I later found out that you should only loosen the top part of the bleeder!
