Does anyone have an actual picture of what fitting to bleed on the AHC actuators? The diagram I have is pretty vague. Got two cans of OEM AHC fluid and am ready to go.
 
I would set it in the low position, use a vac(or siphon) to remove all old fluid from reservoir, add new fluid past previous level to ensure you have fluid to release at the ports on the actuators. The ports are just like the ones you use to bleed your brakes. They have a rubber cap on them.
 
no need to use a vacuum bleeder on the globes or actuator. read the FAQ on AHC bleeding and bleed one globe at a time. keep the truck in Normal height, and bleed it to low at each corner using the weight of the vehicle.

to see where you need to bleed them, pop your head under the truck and look for a little rubber cap that is covering the bleed valve. super easy to do just be patient and careful if you still have your running boards on.

Maybe I wasn't clear but this is to remove the old fluid from the reservoir. This will ensure you have fresh fluid going through the system when bleeding...

agreed, i re-read your post after i posted and ended up deleting mine.

removing the fluid from the reservoir is the first part of the bleed process. just keep topping up the reservoir after each globe is bled a few times to make sure it doesn't run dry.
 
I have two can out in the garage and will be doing this soon as well. Would also like to see the location of the bleeders. I'm sure I could just crawl around under there and follow the lines to the bleeders but that takes effort and a pic takes none.

from this nipple on all four plus the height controlling actuator has one as well.
