Not usually necessary.

After you refill the system using the bleed screw (make sure the heater is
turned to FULL HOT), start the engine, then bounce the bumper and squeeze
the upper hose once in a while. The level will blip down as bubbles are
ejected.

Once it stops going down but keeps rising, put the cap back, make sure the
reservoir is full, then drive the car around until the temp gauge reads
full-hot.
