Brake fluid flush and ASR

'95 SL500. Will use Motive pressure bleeeder/flush unit. On my 95 E420 there was a bleeder connection on the ASR unit but my SL500 the ASR reservoir looks different, even though this is basically same engine, and I cannot see bleed valve.

Is this necessary if I use Motive pressure unit and just flush via the calipers? Or can anyone tell me where the ASR bleeder valves located? All I can see is the 4 brake lines plus another line(master cylinder line?) running to unit and no bleeder valve.

Thanks

I have always flushed mine from the reservoir using 20 psi, without a problem.

The valves are all normally open anyways, just flush out through the calipers like normal.
