Getting the Wheeling Fever

Ok I'm looking at the FSM for yota pickup 4X4 1994 V6 with standard power steering setup. It says there is a bleed valve on the steering gear box you should connect clear hose to and get air our of system.

Well I've looked everywhere on my steering gear box and I only see the hex nut in the center with teh flat head adjustment screw.

Can anyone tell me where the bleed valve is on the steering box ???

I'm getting a new PS reservoir today (mine is leaking) and I want to bleed the system correctly. Chilton manual also describes this BLEED VALVE.

You might be able to use the adjustment screw on top to bleed it. When I was adjusting mine, fluid started to come out.
