You will not be able to see it. You will just have to reach up there, find the hole and use the correct socket to loosen and tighten it. I have used the Tick remote bleeders after fighting with the bleeding under the car one too many times.

if you go under the car you can feel for it but trust me when i say it is going to be a pain to bleed it.......the best and easy i found of doing it is to buy a mighty vac and and stick it in the master cylinder and put the mighty vac up too 12psi and then hit the clutch until there are no bubbles come out the line........then release the mighty vac and try it out..................hop this helps

Did you have to pull the trans out of the car to install the remote bleeder?
