Default Bleed the Radiator

I know that the bleeder bolt is on the T-stat housing but I just can't find it in my 94 accord Lx.
anyone with a digram or picture, please post.
I would appreciate the help.

if I leave the resiover top open and start up the car and turn on the hot air for 5 or 10 minutes, will it also bleed the bubble out?

car off, bleeder screw loose ( open ) put a 50-50 mix coolant -water, fill radiator till only coolant comes out of bleeder screw, tighten screw, put cap on, start car ,, you are all done..

Forget about turning the hot air on and reservoir open .. follow my directions and you will be just fine

Ok, I will do as you say deserthonda.
I will also need to repolace the T-stat while I am at it.
I was told that the T-stat is in the lower rad hose housing and it looks little bit tricky to remove it. Is ther a DIY for T-stat you can help me out here with my 94 accord?

the t-stat is located at the end of the lower radiator hose,( engine side of course ) , it is really easy to replace, just remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold the housing on, there might be also a 10mm bolts that holds a ground wire , make sure you reconnect the wire back,, anyho, once housing is out, replace t-stat and gasket, use a Honda t-stat make sure to line up the gasket in the t-stat and the nipples in the housing, put all together, once done bleed the system like i described before,, start car up, double chk your work ,make sure there is no leak and that t-stat opens properly . by making sure that lower radiator hose is almost as hot as upper hose when engine is hot ,,,
