I got this used Redcat and the rear brakes don't work. I discovered the reservoir for brake fluid was empty and the line was broken. I fixed the line and put fluid in the reservoir. How do I get the brake fluid to go through the system and make it work? Pumping the brakes does not do anything. The fluid just sits in the reservoir. I know little about how these things work. Can someone help me out?

check to see if there is a breatheraround the rear brake.

 

open the bleeder on the rear caliper and open brake reservoir cap. if the system isnt clogged it should run straight through and come out bleeder hole. if it doesnt come out you may pump pedal and get it to move. after it starts coming out bleed brake system and refill reservoir

 

That worked, then I discovered that the hose is ruptured. Are these generic or do I have to order the hose from Redcat?

 

i would just go to a atv salvage and try to find one. there is nothing out of the ordinary about these. you may even find one on a junked out car or truck
