put car on incline, squeeze upper hose, and use the bleeder on the engine side of the top radiator hose.

It's actually written out quite well in the Service Manual, google it.

Put the heater on high, elevate the front of the car, 'burp' the hoses to get the air moving (squeeze them and release), and as soon as you see water with no bubbles coming out of the bleeder valve on the upper neck, cap it.

Both hoses should be hot at this point, that's basically when you know it's ok to drive.

Could just be air, but yeah a thermostat's like $8 at any auto parts store. Might as well replace it if you're having to bleed it all already.
