Not sure what you mean by "itook off lugs" though.On my '90 F150, the bleed nipple is on the top of the back plate, just above where the brake line connects (over the axle).
What year is your truck?

The best way to get the wheel free is to run a oxyacetylene torch with a cutting head on it around the bolt circle for a few seconds on a real high setting. This is if it's a steel wheel. The wheel expands and the drum doesn't, and it breaks loose so nice. Sometimes they even pop when they come loose.
Like he said, the bleeder is easy to get to without taking the wheel off. If you have a few extra bucks look at motiveproducs.com. I have nothing to do with them except being a very satisfied customer. I can bleed out brakes 100% in a couple of minutes with this and it's not that expensive.
