Default 2002 polaris scrambler 500 high output brakes

How do I bleed the brakes on my 2002 polaris scrambler 500 HO? The rear brake does not work and I need to bleed them.

You can try a mityvac on the rear caliper bleeder and see if it helps bleed the rear brakes. Better than trying to hand bleed one. Most of the time it's the seals on the small rear master cylinder that have dried out and suck air from non use and it can't build up pressure. Seal kits are available for around 25 bucks if needed.
