Thanks for the video very informational
Little advice is try rubbing WD-40 on the seals. Good way to displace some water that may get in.
Excellent video, for sure it will help me a lot, thanks !!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for the excellent video!
Yeah, this one was nice a thorough!!!
Awesome video thanks
I bet that fourwheeler will never break with all the new parts he’s put in
Mine is 20 years old been through hell and works just fine
Have to get one of those mini mighty vacs I can use for my cars as well.
I love watching vids my son has a 04 rancher 350 es...we bought new master cyl..bled brakes as shown and we still have no brakes no pressure at brake handle either the wheel cyl are moving but not much now my question is? Are brake cyl possibly bad or is new master cyl too small
Sometimes it takes a lot of bleeding to get the air out of the master cylinder for first use. Keep going!
Is there a certain master mounting angle?
have a 2001 rancher and the fan isnt working do u have a video for that
much trouble loosening the bleed screw?
What if when I bleed the front break I get no break fluid coming out new break pad is my cylinder bad?
Thanks for the great video. Is this the same process for a 2011 kawasaki prairie 360 4x4? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
its the same process for basically every hydraulic brakes even car brakes
my front brakes dont work no pressure at all u have yo pump it for it to slightly add pressure do you know what is the problem?
No fluid is coming out of the master cyclinder. Very little bubbles also. Bad master cyclinder? Any help thanks
Quick question, my front brake handle is very tight. Will only come back about a quarter of an inch. But the front brakes do work, and they work well. But I am concerned about the tight lever, not sure if that is an issue if the brakes still work fine?
As long as they aren't fading, it's fine.
Ok great. Thank you. And thank you for the video.
Is the air breather tube necessary to keep connected, or can I just plug it off.
james pruitt u should try to have it, the outer brake drum has a rubber seal, i like to grease that seal a little helps keep foreign objects out, and it theres no vent line it will have crap pour into it. If you were to simply plug it it will create a leak around the seal and let foreign objects in that way
Trying to vacuum bleed my brakes after replacing the shoes. I notice a lot of bubbles after multiple attempts to bleed each side. Not getting much stopping power. I noticed when you were bleeding with the mighty vac you had a lot of bubbles also. Is that normal and still acceptable or should it be just fluid?
Bubbles in the might vac tube? That's normal. Air from the connection and air from within the line.
@@PartzillaParts Thank you.
I dont know if i need to bleed but when i push my front brakelever in it goes all the way into the handle and then it doesn’t brake.... what should i do?
Make sure your fluid level is full and then you will have to bleed the system
I tried bleeding my front brakes with a mightyvac hand pump. It seems like air and brake fluid are flowing into the clear tube, after I close the bleeder valve on the brake panel. Can you tell me why this is happening? And as a separate question, do the crush washers for the banjo bolt HAVE to be OEM?
They don't have to be OEM. The seal on the pump line might not have sealed?
Partzilla I bleeded my brakes after changing pads got fluied to come out bleeder valve after lines were emply but brakes are not getting hard and not working yet . ? Im wondering if my caliper seals went bad now or what?
I have recently replaced my brake pads, new cylinders and new master cylinder. I have lost all brake pressure and cannot get any pressure after bleeding. When driving I can hit the brakes 4-5 times and the brakes will activate. Am I not bleeding enough? Help John!!!
You most likely still have air in the master cylinder. Bleed it and the lines again.
I’ve done everything to the book but I can’t get the lever to stiffen up again... maybe I haven’t bled it enough?
Viagra
what does it mean if I pump the master cylinder and no resistance/pressure being made; no fluid comes out of the bleeders at each wheel? I have just put on new brake cylinders and followed your directions for disasemblying the master cylinder (cleaned it as didn't get rebuild kit).
I just done the same on my 03. Never could get any resistance on the hand brake lever. Replaced that master cylinder and had no problems getting great brakes.
where can i get a new rubber seal i cant find them on ebay
You mean the rubber seal in the reservoir? #9 on this diagram?

I'm having a problem, when I fill the reservoir up and pump the brake lever nothing will come out of the bleeder valve when I open it up. Could it possibly be a clogged hose?
You ever figure the problem out? I’m guessing either the bleeder screw orfice is plugged or bad master cylinder.
i have a 1986 honda trx 350 4x4 and i'm having trouble with my front brakes BARELY working. I have bled my brakes *maybe not enough* put new shoes on and rebuilt my front brake wheel cylinders. But it seems as though as there to much pressure on my front brakes and they barely work. When I push in my front brakes I can't even get them to go all the way back to the handle bar. The lever moves maybe 4 inches and then I slow down but do not stop by any means. By the way i had to buy an aftermarket master cylinder, I just bought an OEM one on ebay and i'll be buying the rebuild kit. Any suggestions? thx
I also have new dot 4 brake fluid in the lines.
Wait, so the lever is hard, but won't transfer the pressure to the pads?
@@PartzillaParts yes thats correct, sorry for such a late response lol
my brakes wont bleed went trough a hole bottle of 4 dot still has air in system replaced front brakes and wheel cylinders and tried a hand pump vacuum pulls out the fluid but still has air in system . took cap off took line off going to brakes put finger over hole builds pressure in master cylinder.
Start with the simple answer, replace the washers on your banjo bolts for the brake line. Sounds like there is an air leak somewhere.
thanks it was a leak at the master cylinder line on the copper washer thanks and god bless you
Hey bud, im having issues trying to bleed my 89 fourtrak. I put new pads new cylinders and a new used master cylinder and i can't bleed it and there is no more air in the line that it seems.
Hey brother I was having the same problem I just kept writing for years with no brakes and just said fuck it.
But as I got older and wiser I just wanted to fix it. I did the same thing put new brakes new master cylinders and seems like I couldn't get the air out.
What you gotta do is adjust them almost all the way out to where you can barely squeeze the drum on You might even tighten it more once you get the drum on then squeeze the brakes breaks and you will have breaks and you will be like oh my God.
If you notice the brakes are too tight and it's dragging the 4 Wheeler just backup the adjustment a little bit until the it until the bike moves freely
@@crawling86 I'm having a problem where nothing will come out of my bleeder valve when I open it up after pumping. should I try what you said?
@@dustinbowen7201 Adjust the brakes out just enough to where you barely can get the drum back on.
After you know you've , Blood breaks I'm sure you've blood on perfectly fine every time, most people don't realize that you just have to adjust them out, once I adjusted the brakes it worked perfectly. That being said it's not that easy To adjust but it is once you figured it out it is.
You will notice once you adjust them out and you hit the drum you will have something in your handle compared to nothing and then go from there.
@@crawling86 Thank you I'll try that
Great video just change hydroscopic to hygroscopic lol
I replaced my shoes but handle still comes all the way back with no pressure , cant figure out whats going on
Keep bleeding, sometimes it takes a bit.
@@PartzillaParts i had stuck wheel cylinders
@@kp763 what did you do to make them unstuck haha?
My screws came out just fine with a regular screwdriver Mr. Knowitall
I’ve replaced the rear brakes on my Honda rancher 420 but after I got it back together; there is no reaction after I tried to apply the brake. Can you think of what may be causing this? I don’t believe the back brakes need to be bled like the front but I’m not 100% sure...help! Please :)
Amber Pinnick yeah I’m actually in the same situation with my foreman 400, both front and back brakes aren’t working.
Your back brakes are mechanical. They can be fixed with lubrication of wires and Springs new pads. It's very technical and in time consuming people give up quick.
Front brakes are hard too because they're hydraulic and I'm actually trying to get all the air out of my front brakes, got the back brakes fixed really good.
If you can't figure out how to get the small wire to stay put for back breaks attack welded mine
Make sure you lubricate where the brake pads move
Just got front brakes to work need to adjust master cylinders almost all the way out! to were drum belay goes over brakes!!! That's why nobody can get the air out. It's not air its adjustment. If hard to move when done adjust back a little bit. 15 years no break's. Now front and back break's are 💪
@@crawling86 I have a Honda recon and can’t get the brakes to bleed. Replaced pads and pistons. It’s pushing fluid out the bleeder and not air. But still no pressure on the pedal. Any advice?
@@MrTap86 Hoping someone answers this, I'm having the same problem. Tried gravity bleeding, tried repeated bleeding by squeezing the handle, still no brakes.
What about rear brakes?
This unit doesn't have hydraulic rear brakes-- they're cable actuated. We did do a video though on changing the brake shoes on the rear drum brake: th-cam.com/video/qEQ8yU-DyYo/w-d-xo.html
We replace the foot and hand brake cables here: th-cam.com/video/73yD2RxrLxA/w-d-xo.html
Hey. Why you guys charging $200 for a fan control module?
