No need to remove any pipes as the system is good at self bleeding.

Just run the engine until the thermostat opens (hose near battery will suddenly go hot) with the header tank cap off and heater on full.

Keep topping it up until the stat opens and then a final top-up should see the job done.

Remember....50:50 anti freeze mix.
