I'm having a hard time finding the bleeder screw for my clutch on a 96 Chevy Cavalier 2.2? Can you help?

The brake bleeder screw is typically a small metal fitting, often made of brass or steel, located on the brake caliper or wheel cylinder. It usually has a hexagonal shape, allowing for easy access with a wrench, and features a small hole at the top where brake fluid can escape during the bleeding process. The screw often has a rubber cap to protect it from dirt and moisture. Its primary function is to release air from the brake lines, ensuring proper brake system function.

To bleed the rear brakes on a 2001 Chevy Tracker, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Begin at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, usually the passenger side rear brake, by removing the wheel and locating the brake bleeder screw. Have an assistant press the brake pedal while you open the bleeder screw, allowing old fluid and air to escape; close the screw before they release the pedal. Repeat this process for the driver side rear brake, ensuring to regularly check and refill the brake fluid reservoir to prevent it from running dry.
First of all need to pump up the brakes about ten times have a assistant do this. Proceed to the rear of the vehicle. Around where the steel brake line goes into the brake housing there should be a rubber protective boot that is on top of the bleeder screw. Take off the protective boot if there is one. Make sure to have a flared wrench so you do not strip off the head of the bleeder screw. After pump up hold brake pedal with firm pressure as pedal is pressed down turn bleeder screw counterclockwise until fluid or air comes out. Make sure to check master cylinder for adequete fluid level and repeat until all air is out of the line.
