Run the engine all the way up.
Support it with the trailering bracket.
In between the mounting brackets, you will see the pump and the three rams. On the pump housing is a LARGE screw. That is the fill hole.
Fill it with the proper fluid and then run the engine up and down a few times. It is self bleeding.

I'm trying to think of which system you have. I forget what year all the components went inside the brackets.
If your pump is external, yes, that is the big (regular blade) screw on the side of the pump/reservoir assembly. It is just above midway up.
Remember to support the engine before you crack it open!
