Bleeding throwout bearing?

So I installed a new throwout bearing, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. Got it all buttoned up and installed on the engine... engine installed in the goblin frame and getting ready to start bleeding. I then realize the throwout bearing must be full of air. The bleeder is above the transmission so my fear is that I need to have the trans and engine separated to get fluid through the bearing. Is there anyway to bleed the TOB without separating the trans and engine? I have a power bleeder setup however I don't see how that will get the air out of the TOB. THANKS GUYS.

I just used the pressure bleeder and kept going back to get the air out. The fluid will eventually filter down to the TOB and the bubbles will come up into the tube or adapter.
