There should be an Allen set screw in front of where the line attaches. (on top)
Open it as far as you can swing the wrench against the line.
The little hole on the end of the slave (facing the front of the truck) is the bleed port.

With a truck that has external slave the bleeder screw is in front of where the line attaches to the slave cylinder.

If you have a metal slave like mine there's a bleed nipple just like a brake caliper.
If you have the plastic slave there is an Allen set screw in the top face of the slave and a little bleed hole on the front facing forward.
