okay

heres a picture of the civic si's front caliper



see the brass screw with the black rubber cap around it? thats the bleeder screw

now on to bleeding procedures itself:
the civic si bleeding procedure is Front Left caliper first then FR and then to the RR and then LR

okay to bleed the car itself, theres many videos online to demonstrate this tedious task

some quick notes there: try not to spill the brake fluid; top off brake fluid to the MAX level before moving to another caliper, dont let the master cylinder get empty!; use a different color brake fluid if you can to see when the oil fluid has been extracted; get a friend to help you and get him or her to sit in the car to push the brake pedal, not sitting outside because you might over reach the brake pedal; and of course use jack stands

i will probably do a DIY on it when I get my stimulus check and get better brakes
