16Lever Blade Removal
Lever Blade Removal
NOTICE
DOT fluid will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid comes in contact with a painted surface (i.e. 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.
Use a T25 TORX
®
wrench or a 4 mm hex wrench to remove the brake
clamp bolt from the discrete clamp, MMX, or XLoc™
(XLoc requires removal of the shifter) 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.
Use an 8 mm flare nut wrench to 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 the best braking performance, use only SRAM®
High-Performance 5.1 DOT fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, use only
High-Performance 5.1 DOT fluid or 4 fluid.
