Remove the reservoir cover and bladder from the lever body.
6
Pour the remaining 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 of the parts with soapy water, rinse with clean water, then allow
all of the parts to dry prior to rebuilding.
Install all new seals and a new brake hose.
For the best braking performance, use only SRAM DOT 5.1 fluid. If
SRAM fluid is not available, use only DOT 5.1 fluid or 4 fluid.
7
Separate the bladder from the reservoir cover.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the bladder and the reservoir cover, then
clean them with a shop towel.
All components must be completely dry before reinstalling them.
Moisture residue from cleaning the bladder can leak out of the bladder
as it dries, which can be misinterpreted as a system leak, when it is not.
