    just twist it left till it feels loose and u will hear a hissing noise, at this point ready yourself for action (maybe have a strong coffee before hand)....... after maybe 20 seconds water will SHOOOOT out of the hole, this is where u spring into action!! turn the key right to tighten it up and that it yr done:oops:

    Once this bit is done you may have to top up the system at the boiler as the water pressure in the heating system may be low.

    MOS - Get yourself a bleed key from your nearest plumb centre or merchant. There'll be a nipple on the top corner of your rad. Like Pike says just turn it to the left and the air will start to come out. It might be worth getting some toilet roll to catch the water when it eventually does come out (as heating water can be minging) that way you wont stain your missus' nice carpets!
