The thermostat was replaced due to age/mileage. Normally I leave the upper hose connected but since I had the hose off I did it the way it is shown.
Keep in mind that the cooling system was drained and not under pressure.
I also broke the ground wire that gets attached to the thermostat housing and repaired it by crimping on a new eyelet.
After replacing the thermostat, the cooling system was filled and bled like this:
