L ever Blade Removal
NOTICE
DOT fluid will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid comes in contact with a painted surface (e.g. your frame) or printing on the brakes, wipe it off
immediately and clean it with isopropyl alcohol or water. Damage to painted and/or printed surfaces by DOT fluid is not covered under warranty.
Remove the brake clamp bolt and remove the brake lever from the
handlebar.
Pull the hose boot away from the brake body to expose the
compression nut, then slide the boot down the brake hose.
Unthread the hose compression nut, then pull the brake hose and
compression fitting from the brake lever body.
Pour the brake fluid into an oil pan. Squeeze the lever blade to force
any remaining brake fluid out of the lever body.
NOTICE
If the system has been contaminated with mineral oil or DOT 5 fluid,
flush all the parts with soapy water, rinse, and allow all parts to dry
prior to rebuilding. Install all new seals and a new hose.
For best braking performance, use only SRAM® High-Performance DOT
5.1 fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, use only High-Performance DOT
5.1 fluid or 4 fluid.
