that's a drain plug not a bleeder.

The bleeder will be located on the thermostat housing (if your car has a bleeder at all).

Actually, the coolant bleeder is located on the upper water neck, not the thermostat housing. It is, indeed, 12mm last I checked. It seems that some cars have them and some do not, so you aren't destined to have one under your hood. If it's there, it'll be to the left of the valve cover on the water neck that feeds the top of your radiator.

Breaks = becomes ruined. Brakes = the devices that stop your car.

Not all hondas have the bleeder...usually the older ones do
Your em1 will not - you have to "burp" the coolant, but running the car with the radiator cap off for a few mins.
If for some reason you have an older water neck @ the head, you will obviously be able to see it.
