Turn the car on, heater full blast, car will heat up, when the temp goes up past half, turn it off, let the coolant go down, once it's cooled down, open up the bleeder screw, fill radiator until fluid comes out the screw hole, and start up again

The bleeder screw is the highest point in the system
Sorry I confused you. I'm not disconnecting the radiator hose, I simply removed the top heater core hose while filling the system with coolant in order to get any possible air out of the heater core, then connected it when the air was out. Yes, that is essentially what a spill free funnel is, it holds a large amount of coolant over the radiator so you can bleed the system without introducing air.

Alright ill try your method on bleeding by turning the car off once it gets warm, letting it cool then bleeding it again.
