Default coolent bleeding question...6gen civic

about to change the IM on my civic (97 EX d16y8).....i need to drain and fill the coolent in the process.....here is the problem:

i worked on eg's and tags....they all seem to have a coolent bleeding screw near the thermostat housing.......but on my civic there are none!

just wondering if any of you guys notice this, and how did you guys bleed the coolent w/o this bleeder screw....

let me know guys, thanks

There should be a bleeder screw on the very bottom of your radiator.

Oh, sorry, I was thinking of changing the coolant in the system. ^^Do what he said to just get the bubbles out. Leave it off for a while though (like 10 min at least to make sure).
