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.

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.
