 Let me show you what this bad boy can do. Alright, so I know some of you have been waiting for me to finish up the 6x6, turns out there's quite a bit wrong with that front A-arms, needed bushings, the shifter shot, some electrical issues with it. So for now I'm going to shoot a video on something else that I'll show you in just a little bit. My subscribers hinted to me on my channel about working on the floor or getting a lift, and a couple of you actually wanted to donate for all the info that I give, and for me it was never about money, but I do thank you and I thank all my subscribers and thanks to the channel, I was actually able to finally buy a lift. So, just buying things a little by little as I need them, $1,500 lift for $800 bucks, that was pretty cool. Now, I don't have to bend over anymore. So, welcome to Titanium Man Garage, and if you haven't subscribed, please feel free to hit the bell if you like the video. I've got plenty of Polaris repairs on there, so today we are going to go over the rear brakes on a Polaris Sportsman 500, this one's a 2000, and we'll be doing the brakes, and that's something I haven't covered yet, and you can buy a brake kettle at the rear brake caliper and the master cylinder, got these on eBay for $35 bucks, I thought that was a steal, and I already installed one in an ATV, and I haven't decided if I'm going to put one in this one, or if we're just going to bleed the brakes. Okay, so we're covering the foot brake, which is something I really haven't covered before, and behind here there's a little master cylinder like I showed you in the package, it looks like this, so when the foot brake is pressed, the cylinder pushes in and pumps up the rear caliper, so what I need to do is I need to bleed that, so you have the filler tube up on top, I don't know if we can get in here, your filler tube up on top and that goes down to the little master cylinder, so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to crack open this bleeder screw, and then I'm going to press on the foot pedal, but first I'm going to put my little hose on here, and I have a cup full of brake fluid, and what that does is I put the brake fluid in the hose, so that way when I pump the foot pedal, the air doesn't get back in. There we go, air bubbles just went through, can you see that on the camera? Now when I pump this, you can see what air comes out, that's how I'm bleeding the air out of the brakes. Is there fluid in there? Yup. Okay, go ahead, keep pumping it, all the bubbles are popping out, okay stop, hold it down, top off the fluid, alright so I topped off the fluid up here, and I got my helper pumping the foot pedal, and then I'm going to go ahead and crack that bleeder screw open again, and bleed more air out. Alright just hang on, you don't have to pump yet, so I'm going to hook my hose back up, and we're going to crack that open again. By hooking the hose up, it keeps, when you release the pedal, it keeps the air from sucking in, by keeping the hose in the jar. Go ahead and pump it three times. Okay, so one more thing I want you to do is squeeze the handbrake, I'm going to crack open the back one, let me know when you're ready. I can't breathe. Alright, pump it again, one more time. Okay, so I couldn't get the foot pedal to bleed, so I'm thinking the brake pads are pretty well gone, so that might be part of the problem. So I'm going to go ahead and take the caliper off, and we're going to put the brake pads on. Okay, so I got the bolt side of the caliper, I'm going to take this off, and we're going to inspect it. Yeah, brake pads are gone, can you see that in the camera? Let me come over here. These brake pads are pretty tall, so there's a clip right on top. Let me pull that up and out, and that's how you get the brake pads out. There we go, so the pin came out. Oops, the pads just fell right out. Yeah, see there's not much left of those pads. So what we have here is the two pistons coming out of the caliper, or seized up. So I mean my son, we're bleeding the brakes, and both those pistons would not move. So I'm thinking I have to replace this caliper. And I apologize for the lighting being not so hot before. Take quarter is kind of hard to get into without moving the foot board. Alright, I'm bolting up the new caliper. The pistons in the other caliper were shot. And here's your master cylinder back on. Slide your filler hose back on. Not easier to do with the foot board out of the way. Here's your master cylinder, up again. Alright, so a quick overview from the foot pedal. I put the new master cylinder in. There's two bolts there. Ran the line up. Now you guys probably really couldn't see before because the lighting isn't that hot. Replaced the caliper. And now there's two bolts that hold that in place. And then your two lines coming in. And your two bleeders. So the outside one is the bleed the foot pedal. The inside one is the hand brake. So you want to do what I did, put a hose on. And stick the hose in the jar full of brake fluid. Squeeze the handle a couple of times, get all the air out. Right now she's nice and tight. It's a lot easier to do without the foot board on. Get that out of the way. And she's good to go. Thanks for watching.
