Bleeding brakes

I am new to the Bronco truck. I have to replace the master cylinder and will have to bleed the brakes. I can't locate the bleeder nipples? How do you bleed these things?

Bench bleed master cyl. Bleeder screws on 99.9 % of all vehicle's are top of frt. calipers and at wheel cyl.'s. Don't take this wrong, but if your asking you might not want to fool with it,if you can't steer it or stop it,don't drive it.

I have a power bleeder and bleed brakes on all my other vehicles. It appears that there is no bleeder nipple to put a clear plastic hose on. How do you know that the air bubbles have been all purged? Does the fluid just dribble out of the hole?

If the bleeder has no "nipple" it most likely is broke-off and can be replaced.I have 2 power bleeders and both have multiple adapters ,I assume so does yours, 1 of them should fit over the threaded part of bleeder screw.But I'm not sure if bronofixer has that problem.
