DOT brake 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 brake 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 off the compression nut and slide it away from the

lever.

Remove the hose compression nut.

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 pump

brake fluid out of the lever body.

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 new seals and a new hose.

For best results, use only SRAM High-Performance DOT 5.1 brake

fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, only use DOT 5.1 or 4 brake fluid.
