where are the front bleed screws?????? 700 1988

1988 760 turbo w/ABS, just replaced the MC (old one seemed to be failing) and need to bleed the wheels. I understand the concept pretty well and have been meticulous in following the directions in the haynes manual. However, now when I look at the picture of the front caliper in the manual and my own caliper, I can't see the bleed screws. Where they should be is just more cast metal. Looking all over the caliper reveals nothing that appears to resemble a bleed screw, all I see are the bolts securing the caliper in place, the brake lines themselves, and other appendages that I can identify as not being bleed screws. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Bob

Depends on the calipers. On the Girling the screw is on the top of the caliper, pointing up (ugh), on the Bendix units there are two pointing inboard.

the bleed screws are very samll if i am correct the last time i took a wrench to one it was an 8mm wrench. there on the back side of the caliper towards the front. the brake lines run in close to the screw, i have seen shops replace then with non standard screws so look hard, ive never seen a caliper without a bleed screw, Haynes is not always correct as to the position or looks of things.
