DOT fluid will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid comes in contact with a painted surface (e.g. 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.
1 Inspect the caliper pistons for damage and replace the pistons if
necessary.
Apply a small amount of SRAM® High-Performance DOT 5.1 fluid to the
circumference of each piston. Install the pistons into the caliper bores.
For the best braking performance, use only SRAM High-Performance
DOT 5.1 fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, use only DOT 5.1 or 4 fluid.
Do not use grease. Grease will prevent the pistons from fully retracting
into the caliper bores, which will reduce braking performance.
2 Add a small amount of DOT compatible grease onto the new caliper
o-rings, then install them into the caliper.
3 Align the caliper body halves, then thread each body bolt into the
caliper two full turns.
Install the heat shield so that the heat shield tabs are in the caliper
alignment holes on each side of the caliper.
