Installed a new temp sensor and thermostat. Temp went up to 250 degrees. I assume I have a air lock probably at the thermostat. No flow through radiator. How do I remove the air. I was thinking of loosing the thermostat housing and getting coolant to flow out. Never had this problem before.

Have you tried parking the vehicle so the radiator cap is the highest part of the system and removing the cap and letting it idle? Heater on as well.
