help bleeding coolant system 95 civic ex
Okay so I replaced the 02 sensor and the radiator and the thermostat and the CEL is finally GONE!! (YAY!!)
In order to get the sludge out of the coolant system, I am trying to flush it before filling with the new stuff so I don't just ruin the new radiator but I can't seem to get the bubble out of the system and from what I can tell, there just isn't any water going through the lower radiator hose to the thermostat - all other hoses are hot but that one and there seems to reference to a bleed screw somewhere which I cannot identify on the car - anybody got pics or a diagram where i might find it or an alternate method of getting the air out?
heat comes on, but I've not seen the radiator fan move yet - should I run it with the heater on or off until the fan kicks in first?
Any help would be appreciated as I really don't know what I am doing and can't afford to take it to the shop. So far, I do okay following guides and instructions from the helpful folks like you all!

I have - I still can't find the damn screw and/or get the coolant circulation so I am doing something wrong. Can you help with the location of the screw or other that is more useful than telling me to search again?
