Need to bleed my Shimano Mt200, bought a kit and don't know where to put the syringe on the front caliper and which screw to loosen. If this is the wrong place for this post would someone please be kind enough to direct me to a suitable sub for these inquiries, many thanks!

Research ‘shimano gravity bleed’ on YouTube. Shimano brakes can (or at least could) be problematic with trapped air.
So you put the syringe tube on that hole that you already exposed by taking the rubber grommet off (bottom pic).
The hex bolt you need to unscrew is near that hole, a bit below, perpendicular to the hole where you put the tube.
It’s worth it to grab the manuals of your components if you intend to do your own maintenance.
[Here is the one for the MT200](https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/dm/MBBR001/DM-MBBR001-04-ENG.pdf).
