If you can't get the air bubble out, last resort (with stone cold engine) is to remove the thermostat standpipe and slowly fill the thermostat housing with coolant. Having vehicle facing uphill will help put the housing as the high point where air will collect.
Better than doing damage by super-heating some parts of an older engine.
And, agee, not AIR will not open a thermostat. It was designed to work on not COOLANT/WATER.
