I've pulled out & installed both types of masters & never seen a bleed point on it... always done it on the wheels.

Ya can get cheeky when doing it & not actually have to remove the wheels too. Just jack it up, get under, the run a bit of 1/4" tubing off the nipple into a bucket.

Or as the rich kids are doing these days, just buy a power bleed kit which just hooks into the air valve on your spare tyre, then hook up to each bleed point & release the valve. No one required to push the pedal
