Default flushing coolant

I have a 2000 4cyl. Accord and want to flush and replace hoses,do you have to bleed the air from the system afterward? also want to do a tune up what plugs do you guys recommend?

Is there a bleeder valve somewhere at the top of the motor?

it is located on the thermostate case. Go to hondaautomotiveparts.com and dial in your car, go to water pump sensor and you will see the picture and part and #12 called the breathing bolt. Funny name for a water bleed
