replacing clutch hose

ok so my clutch hose is cracked and leaks a little here and there and also causes the pedal to lose pressure completely sometimes. my replacement outta victoria brittish just got here.
)
ive got a the factory manual but i cant find where the bleeder is gonna be on it thats lower than the hose im replacing. anyone know how i should install this bad boy and not have lots of air bubbles in the line. thanks for the help. if youre too lazy to type you could gimme the page # or anything, ive got the haynes too.
for those of you that got the better one, how much of a difference did the braided steel line make? i suppose it wont make much of a diff til i get a really stiff clutch, just wondering.
thanks
gamble
(more questions to come i bet, finally got time to wok on her again

For mine, the bleeder was on top of the transmisson sorta on the drivers side. Standing on the drivers side and looking into the engine bay, it was right by the firewall.... Hope that helps - really easy to do also. (My legend has the stupid thing up against the radiator at the bottom of the stinking thing hidden by an splash guard - eeek.
