Alright, I found the bleed bolt....but there is No way in hell i can get that bastard off, becaus there's a vaccum hose right above it making it inaccesible to a wrench, socket, or pliers....i tried like hell to get the vacuum hose off but it won't budge....what to do now??

Just let it run up to full temp for 5 mins with the radiator cap off and the heater in the car on hottest position, then top up the radiator as the air is released and replace the cap. That's the way I bleed mine.

 

I don't think that's the right valve, as there shouldn't be any vacuum connection there. The correct one is behind where the top radiator hose connects to the block, and under and a little in front of the coil.

Yep, sounds like he's looking in the wrong place.

 

I'm almost positive that this is the right bolt. It has a hole on the top for bleeding....and it's in front of the coil....like looking at the engine...it would be closer to the firewall than the coil. Remember, this is on an H23...
