Hmm, where on the calipers are they? Are there two per calipers?
Oh I see it now, I just looked in the book and the cap is actually part of the sensor wire!

haha yeah there is one bleeder per brake covered by a rubber cap.

your damn thread made me order a bunch of titanium bolts and nuts

Justified it as my Cervelo road bike also has a bunch of M6 bolts which would benefit from some light weight pieces

I am kind of obsessed with it now I don't even want to think how much I have into it.
I ride a yeti sb6c, it's full carbon and I also did some titanium fasteners on it

What "book" did you look in? I've been looking for a service manual, but no luck. Just the on-line TIS subscription.

A very tedious process, but I guess we don't have a choice at this point.

In addition to what the others have said, bleeders come in different sizes and with different threads. I used Earl's Solo Bleeders on my ISF. Made the job much easier.

You're definitely setting the bar! BTW, don't forget to swap out the steel fasteners on the rotor hubs with titanium...lol
