That line is generally attached to a right-angle fitting in the center
of the fill cap. The cap itself is metal, and is square on top so you
can turn it with a wrench. Clean the crud off the top of the master
cylinder, detach that vent line, push it out of the way, and then
unscrew the cap with a crescent wrench. This can all be done through
the access door in the cab floor near the driver's seat. As I recall,
there's a cross-member over the master cylinder, but it has a hole in
it over the master cylinder fill cap so that you can stick a funnel
through it. The cross-member does make it hard to see the cap, and the
cap looks more like a pipe plug than the typical brake master cylinder
cap, so I'm not that surprised that you haven't found it yet! :-)
