Good morning,

There has to be bleeders. I attached a picture for you to view.

Can you attach a picture that makes you think there are no bleeders?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been working on vehicles and equipment of all sizes for 35 plus years and I have never run into this before. I will try to attach pictures of the backing plate and send them within the hour.

There is a bleeder on the drivers side only on tracker with no ABS. A strange little valve box is between the 2 rear wheel cylinders on the axle. This box/valve thing apparently cuts fluid flow to rear brakes if the rear of the body raises up in hard braking? I suspect that multiple lines have to be cracked in the bleeding process and the vehicle has to have the wheels resting on the ground for bleeding. Still researching how to bleed. Mine is a 2001 4dr with no ABS. And 4Wd.

I attached the exact bleeding process for you with no ABS. You will need a pressure bleeder. You can rent one from a parts store for this procedure.
