Question on Burping

I have a 1999 Honda Civic EX. Earlier this week, I replaced the heater hose. Since then, my temp gauge on the dash has been jumping around. It hovers around what "normal" was (mid gauge), but when I accelerate, the needle dives down and eventually comes back up. Obviously there is air in the system. I've tried burping it a few times, but no results. Any suggestions?

That heater hose that goes from the end of the head to the heater can trap a lot of air and it's hard as **** to get it bled out.
