been working on this for a couple of months. replaced old line with new,and fittings. i know i need a clean grease gun. do i pump from the resivour tank or fill the lines and then bleed them? any info will be helpful

You bleed from the transmission back to the fluid bottle. All the cylinders on the transmission should have grease fittings which you pump the fluid into. Use a new grease gun and be sure to use ATF.

ok. just finished pumping the lines with atf.only the one side on the brakes moves when i turn the wheel. the wheel itself is very stiff. did i overfill the lines? and the brake does not move them either.bleeding the lines was easy thanks marc.i enjoyed watching you race the scrambler in a spring fling video.really cool.
thanks fred

The steering wheel actuates a right and left slave cylinder. Each side has a bleeder. Make sure each side is filled with the gun. you should see the line jump a little when you turn the wheel. I think the wheel only turns about 90deg to completly engage the steering brake. If there is no movement from the steering cylinder and there is no leaks from either the slave or steering cylinder than there is air still in the line provided the steering wheel moves. If the steering wheel moves one side ok and only moves a litle bitthe other , either the slave or steering cylinder is frozen. The cylinder is aluminum and the piston is steel which makes the corrosion situation worse. I you need any piston seals let me know. The 440 scrambler is getting a complete make over from engine to axles and should be sick when finished.
