Can someone here please show me where I can bleed the brakes, front and rears? Pic's would be very helpful as well.
Thanks in advance

There is one bleed port on each rear wheel and two on each side on the front. If you have a mighty vac, it is a one man operation, otherwise have someone pump the brakes while you bleed. Same as you would on a car.
Thanks trikervet. Now where is the location of these zerk fittings specifically?
In my personal opinion, a mighty vac, vacula, or etc are good for doing your initial bleed. BUT, from personal experience, it's ALWAYS best to do a final bleed manually (someone pushing down on the pedal while you open the bleeder to force air from the system). Power assisted bleeders can pull air from around the threads of the bleeder and not fully escape air from the actual braking system. I've had this happen myself, and seen it happen countless times. Brakes are one place where in my opinion, it's simply not worth taking any chances on.
Location of bleed ports: On the front, if you look at the caliper from the side, you will see two small hex fittings, one pointing down, one pointing up. Same on both sides. On the rear, it needs to be on ramps to see them. Look on the back of each caliper, there is one bleed port on each one, they are larger ports than the front, about 5/16 I think. When I get to my PC later I will send a picture.
Felt like I should add to this. There are 2 bleeders on each of the front calipers; HOWEVER, you ONLY BLEED the one in the top position. TBMS uses a caliper that's "universal" to each side; that's why it has 2 bleeders, so the air is always at the top for bleeding purposes. If you bleed the lower bleeder screw, you will probably suck air into the caliper instead of expelling the air.
Thats good Info thanks to everyone.

Can someone here please tell me where the stupid battery is located on my 2008 stallion, I haven't started it all winter because of medical problems and went down to tried to start it this morning after getting to feeling a little better and nothing happened turn the key and there were nothing no noise or anything, and no lights at all so now I'm going to have to try and get it out and charge it some how. Thanks In Advance.

It's just in front of the left rear wheel under the body panel. Easiest way to get to it to replace is by removing the wheel. If you're just trying to get a charger on it, you could probably reach it without removing the wheel. I've replaced batteries in worse places before, but not exactly "easy access" either. This is probably why so many of them have remote terminals installed.
William there is a posting on a HOW to do on that subject in the Stallion Forum. Might have to search a little. It just running some cables off the battery to the trunk area so you can charge or jump by opening the trunk instead of having to go to the battery.
