Default Where IS the BLEED BOLT FOR COOLANT FLUSH AND FILL?

HELLO,

Follow the top radiator hose to the cylinder head and right before it enters the head there is a little bleed screw you turn slightly. What i would do is fill the radiator and over flow tank. start the car and keep pooring coolent in until it doesnt go down anymore and starts to rise. Your system should be blead by then. take it for a drive and watch your temp gauge, it it starts to over head you have air bubbles somewere. if not your good to go

correct some have them some dont like in this case i think from like 96 and up they dont have them not sure y though. if you need one with a bleeder pm your addy to me and ill send you one all d series housing are the same. its free dont worry.
if you dont want to wait for that, you need to buy a bleeding funel and bleed it that way
