Raise the bed, block the bed and fill full.
Then put a pipe nipple in the fill hole with tygon tubing attached that goes back to a bucket.
Lower the bed slowly while monitoring the bucket.
Raise and lower the bed several times making sure the hose is out of the fluid and does not suck fluid back into the cylinder.
This should contain most of the mess and bleed the cylinder.
Then raise and block, remove nipple and reinstall the plug.
There are a lot of ways to do this and this is a way I would consider.
And I can't stress this enough,
MAKE SURE YOU OVER BLOCK THE BED FOR SAFETY!!
