You don't need to jack up the front of the car, but it doesn't hurt.
Turn the heat to full. This takes some of the heat out of the coolant, and helps to keep the car from overheating during this process.
Pull off the rad cap.
Start her up.
The car will work the bubble out itself as the coolant flows. Have coolant mix on hand to top things up as the bubbles burst and the level drops.
This can take 20 minutes. Keep at it until you see no more bubbles.
Replace rad cap, and you should be good.
