elixir 5 brake lever overhaul
1
Remove the brake lever from the handlebar. Use a 4 mm hex to
remove the brake clamp bolts from the clamp. Pull the hose
boot off the compression nut and slide it down the hose.
If dirty, clean the levers with alcohol and a clean rag.
2
Use an 8 mm flare nut wrench to unthread the hose
compression nut. Pull the brake hose and compression fitting
from the brake lever body.
3
Allow any brake fluid to drain into a container. Hold the lever
assembly over the container and squeeze the lever to pump
any brake fluid from inside the lever assembly.
If the system has been contaminated with the wrong fluid,
you will need to flush all the parts with soapy water, rinse,
and allow to dry prior to rebuilding. You will also need to
install all new seals and a new hose.
