Lever Blade Removal - SRAM GUIDE RSC 2015 Service Manual

L e v e r B l a d e R e m o v a l
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
1
brake clamp bolt from the discrete clamp, MMX, or XLoc™ (XLoc
requires removal of the shifter) and remove the brake lever from
the handlebar.
2 Pull the hose boot off the compression nut and slide it down the
hose.
Use an 8 mm flare nut wrench to remove the hose compression
3
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
4
pump out the excess brake fluid from inside 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 best results, use only Avid High-Performance DOT 5.1 fluid. If
Avid fluid is not available, only use DOT 5.1 or 4 fluid.
