Default DIY Coolant

Never done a coolant flush on a S2000 and have been looking at a DIY and was wondering if anyone was in the area that would be down to help me out? I've done a coolant flush in the past on my last car, a 07 civic si sedan and don't remember anything about a bleeder valve and not 100% confident doing it myself.

I do it the simpler way by just draining the coolant via radiator drain and refilling to the top. Park in the driveway with the front of the car pointing the top of the incline and let it idle until it warms up, shut off, remove the rad cap with several layers of towels so you don't get scalded, refill to the top and you're set. You can use the coolant bleeder valve on the firewall by the battery as well if you're concerned with bubbles in the line (should work themselves out)
