I replaced a front CV shaft on an RTV1100 yesterday, and am going to put the other side on soon. The brakes are not working, it appears due to a broken front cv shaft catching the bolt holding the brake line to the hub and loosening it while the folks operating pumped the last of the fluid out unwittingly. I looked around online to see where the bleeder valve is, and have found some pics showing a bleeder valve on top the hub easily seen and accessible once the wheel is pulled, but this RTV1100 does not have it. There's not a plug where a fitting could go or anything. I've also found others who've run into this online and asked this same question, but have not seen any of them get answered. I'm hoping someone on here has some insight into this.

I'll bet you're not seeing it because it has a safety cover over it.
You need to pull the bolt to remove the cover.

Thanks for your reply. I saw that cover with the bolt hold down which is #210 and #220 on that schematic, but the stuff I found online shows the brake bleed off to the side of that. The below links are to what I found. Let me know what you think about the below links. All I found was stuff for the 900 when I searched for the 1100, but the hub looks identical to me.

Your looking at a WSM for a RTV1140cpx, NOT the same as your RTV1100!
And Again A RTV900 is not the same.

Get the WSM (aka service manual) for your unit.
You will need to have the serial number to get the right manual as there are several for the RTV1100's.

Thanks a bunch for your help wolfman. If it were mine, I'd have the manual, but it's not, and I'll never be touching it again after next week. I bought a new Gator to replace my Polaris 800 back in October. This is just a favor to get them rolling for next year in my absence.
