Does anyone know how to bleed the brakes on the 2017 500HO?  There are 2 bleed screws per caliper...I'm confused ....I finally got pressure in the fronts but the rear is ZERO....not sure what the rear bleeders is for on the front calipers...I got no fluid coming out of them....even tried vacuum pump and I'm getting no fluid AT ALL   :-\

There are two bleed ports because there are two separate pressure chambers within the caliper. One chamber takes pressure from the brake peddle and the hand brake that pressurizes both the front and rear. The other takes pressure only from the other hand lever for the front brakes. Without a power or pressure bleeder, its a real SOB to do. I think I have the line schematic somewhere..

Here is the 800's which is the same:

Following. I'm about bleed mine too, as they are very squishy and barely work. It's been a bit since original post, did you get yours done yet Skynet?
