That's the guide I was using. On steps 12, 13, and 14, the coolant level does not drop after unscrewing the bleed valve and coolant never comes out of the bleed valve either so I don't know what to do next.

For me the coolant level is dropped after removing the radiator cap, but if I unscrew the bleed valve it becomes full again. I've just been adding coolant to radiator before opening the bleed valve. When I fill it up and open the bleed valve afterwards, I can see the radiator fluid bob up and down again. Still no coolant coming out of the bleed valve.

Reservoir is below full line while cold and over full line while hot.
