Use a torque wrench with an 8 mm flare nut crowfoot socket to tighten
the crimped hose fitting into the caliper hose port to
9.8-11.8 N.m (86-104 in-lb).

Insert the bleed block into the caliper.
You must bleed your brakes before reinstalling the brake pads.
Installing the brake pads prior to bleeding the brakes could contaminate
the brake pads and could lead to a brake failure.
10 Spray isopropyl alcohol on the caliper and clean it with a shop towel.
Visually check your work. If an o-ring protrudes from the crimped hose fitting, remove and replace the o-ring, then repeat the installation process.
Overhauling the caliper removes all of the fluid from the caliper. You must bleed the brakes for optimal performance. For brake bleed, brake hose
shortening, and brake pad replacement instructions, visit www.sram.com/service.
