Start at the brake farthest from the master cylinder.

The inner bleed screw on the rear housing is for the hand brake, the outer is for the foot pedal.

Edit: They don't sit side by side. One on top of the other, but with a slight offset.

it is a 98 500 scrambler 4x4. i was told by someone you had to do the front and back at the same time because of the back up front pedal for the rear, is this true or can i just bleed one side at a time then the back? and with the foot pedal how would i go about doing that one after it has been done with the single lever?

i was wanting to make my hawkeye where the brake lever is front brake and foot pedal is back brake. to do this, could i just somehow block off the brake lever tube going to the back brake so that the lever is front only and pedal is back only?

yes you just have to find away to firmly block off the line, or get a line divider that would only two holes in it for the front brakes
