This video walks you through how to change the rear brake pads on a Polaris Sportsman 500. I'm pretty sure these instructions will cover other years and models as well. Most four-wheelers will be a similar setup to this Polaris ATV. This video should give you a good idea on how to repair the rear brakes on just about any four-wheeler or ATV unless your ATV has an oil-bathed rear disk setup.

Thanks for the video helped me a lot , I was going to pay for somebody to do it but not anymore
I "find the hole and just wiggle it around a little bit" too. Thanks for the upload, still helpful in 2022
Mark,
Thanks for the DIY video, I just changed my rear brake pads on my 2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI, I had no problems thanks to your efforts doing the video, I am going to replace my front pads tomorrow thanks to you video.
Thanks Again!
I honestly owe you about $800. The local Polaris dealer quoted me $300-$500 per set for two atvs. These videos were awesome and it took me about 30 mins on first one and 20 mins on second one. Easy peasy.
I bought my pads on Amazon. Caltric brand, $11.00 per set, with free shipping. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
***** hey man I got a 2012 sportsman 400 HO Do I have to push the cylinder in the middle on mine to get the brake pads on?
+George Johnston I had to compress mine, yes. It was very simple with a c clamp.
dustinjm19 Yeah just did it today with a c clamp .....Thanks guys!
As with the front brake job,.now this will be done too,....Thanks again,..as before great video tutorial.
Thanks for the video...............sure makes things easier when you can watch a video and know exactly what you are up against........:)
Pre 2000 there's a single shaft that comes out of the rear right of the gearbox with a single disc and set of pads on a single caliper, it has dual pistons which can be pushed back using the old pads and a big screwdriver, there's a large hairpin looking thing that retains both pads in the caliper. Pretty easy. Gotta remember to take the seat off and take the cap off the small rear brake master cylinder under the seat.
Awesome video thanks for the help
Duh.... Sorry bout the brain fart. As soon as your video started, answer to my question. I was thinking "set" of pads were front, rear, and ??. Only one in back, that would explain why the one I looked at in the rear was so much more worn than the front... Thanks, keep up the great video tutorials!!
Just did my rear, You only need to take out the top Hex bolt and "C" Clip. Loosen the two other bolts.
Then remove the pads, install new ones. I see you didn't use the metal backing plates from the old pads on the new pads, I didn't either. I just use a flat blade screwdriver to compress the piston.
hello ... if your still out there great video thanks for the help. i was wondering if you have any idea how to change the center rubber thing in the calliper
Yes, there are only three total brakes but the back one is not the same as the front ones. Make sure you know that when you buy them it will save yourself a lot of grief you can’t make the wrong one fit.
thank you for this video it helped me save $100
Will watch video and thanks for making it. Can someone tell me why they are selling 3 sets of pads for the Sportsman on many websites? Fronts/rears should be 2 pair, not 3.. I'm thinking maybe the ADC has pads?
Thanks for any help!
What size wrench do you need to pull the pin?
What size is that hex socet?
Hi Mark, thanks for the video. I was hoping to ask you a question. I have a 2006 scrambler 500 and the rear brakes have never worked since it was new. I had the rear master cylinder replaced and they worked for a few days at best. Any ideas what the culprit may be?? There is no resistance when pushing the pedal down. fluid is fine, etc. It's way out of my league. any ideas would really be appreciated. thanks!
Yes, it does.
Thanks Mark. I don't see it leaking anywhere but likewise, the brake assembly is not compressing. Caliper? sounds like it..
What size is the hex
my rear break is way to tight. I hear squeaking sound when I push it. What actually am i supposed to loosen to get it off the disk
What size is that allen key slide bolt?
Channing Austin im doing mine an im using a 9
Billy Bob thanks. Doing mine today. Dang set has 8mm and 10mm off to the parts store
😂
I have a t55 a 10 is too big and 8 is too small. I'm guessing it's an 8. Pointless watching this video that's why I clicked on this video... Of course the guy doesn't mention what size
The pins take a 3/8 inch allen wrench. Not a star socket.
