1987 front breaks bleed??

just replaced the front break lines on the front on my 4x4 f-150 due to one that broke.. and i went to bleed them and notice that the bleed screw is like right against the knuckle and its is really hard to get the hose on to bleed them. does anyone have a trick to go about this

Get a helper. Open screw, push pedal down and close the screw while pedal is still down. Repeat untill all air is out. If you can`t get a helper then open bleed screw and push pedal down with a length of timber that you can then wedge on the seat to keep the pedal down untill you close the screw.
Just my thoughts.
