Look under the crud and you'll find the brake bleeders. But maybe you should opt for rebuilt calipers. I bought all four plus new brake hoses from Advance Auto and they work fine, not too expensive. You can find them online also.
I wish I could make them stop squealing though. I applied the anti-squeak per instructions but my 84 300D screeches enough to turn heads LOL.
