water pump replaced 05 camry le

Hi, I went in for the steering wheel bump issue and had the mid shaft replaced. While under the car, the tech noticed some dried coolant on the bottom of the water pump. They replaced the pump under warranty, but now I hear a slight gurgle/swish noise. I supsect it is air in the coolant system.

Is there an easy way to get the air out without having to go back to the service center?

Many thanks in advance
Scott

Run the car with the radiator cap off, and heater on. Let it sit and warm up, occasionally holding engine rpm's at about 2k. Add coolant as neccessary.
