Are you talking about the cylindrical accumulator in the front trunck behind spare tire????
If so the bleeder valve should come right out of the top of it pointing toward the sky with a black rubber cover on it...

That is the pressure pump, not the accumulator. The accumulator is the small ball about the size of a tennis ball. There is a cap and bleeder screw on it. Be careful as that is under high pressure. You bleed it by turning on the key and letting the hydraulic pump pressurize the system and then open the bleed screw with a bleed bottle attached.
