    Why would you disturb the fluid just for a bearing swap?

    if you changed the rear bearing you don't need to bleed the car unless you have changed the wheel cylinder. put up a picture it could help explain what your after may be - :mellow:

    forgot to not play with whheel cylinderand lost some fluid i only wanna know where the bleed nipple is cos it doesnt appear to be where I think it should be starting to think it may have been sheared off atb some point in the past

    it could have been snapped off - if you put up a picture of the rear drum section on the forum, will try to pin point your missing bleed nipple -

    you can also check with a new part online to see how it looks & where the bleed nipple is located'
