Re-install the compression fitting and brake hose onto the
caliper by hand. Use a torque wrench with an 8 mm flare nut
crowfoot to tighten the compression fitting to 4.9-5.4 N∙m
(43-48 in-lb).

insert the Bleed Block into the caliper in place of the brake
pads.
You will need to bleed your brakes before re-installing
the brake pads.

Clean the assembled caliper with alcohol and a clean rag to
remove any brake fluid.
overhauling the caliper introduces a small amount of air into the system, so at this point it is necessary to bleed the brakes for
optimal performance. see the section, "avid brake bleed procedure" for instructions.
