Default LPP bleeder install

Ok, so I got the bleeder line from LPP...soo how would one install this with the trans still in the car.

I though it would be pretty simple and I remember seeing the clutch line going to the master. I figure the bleeder screw would be visible somewhere in the area.

But I couldn't see the bleeder screw anywhere.

Any tips? Tried search around and came up dry for installs of this.

Thanks

***EDIT***
Found some pics, it should be right above the clutch line. Is it possible to install the bleeder with the trans still in the car?

Dont bother calling them.... Its not possible to install the bleeder line with the trans in the car. You might be able to sneak it back without totally removing it... but you need to get to the slave for the install. The bleeder screw is right above the master line. It sits recessed a tiny bit into the bellhousing.

Like stated above, it's not worth it trying to install it with the trans in.

Here's the Tick bleeder installed. You can see how far in it needs to be screwed.
