Question radiator change and system bleeding

I pulled off my front bumper last weeked to have it repainted and noticed a small wet spot on the right radiator that I am sure is antifreeze.
I can change the radiator no problem but I am concerned about bleeding the cooling system after the swap.
Could any of you guys that have done this job let me know how to bleed the cooling system.
thank you in advance any info would be great

Before you put the bumper back, install a set of radiator grills to protect the radiators. cargraphic make some nice blk ones.

You will need a Snap-On Radkitplus or equivalent. PM me if you need more info or help.

Thanks for the replies it turned out not to be a leak. Just the guts from a very large bug. I cleaned out all the radiators and ran the car found no leak. But there was a ton of stuff jammed in there. Thanks for the feed back. mike
