Brake Hose Installation - SRAM G2 Ultimate Service Manual

B r a k e H o s e I n s t a l l a t i o n
1 Cut the hose to install a new barb and compression fitting.
All SRAM brakes that use a compression fitting and hose barb
must use a new SJ (Stealth-a-majig) hose barb and a new, red SJ
compression fitting upon reassembly.
The factory may have installed a non-red SJ compression fitting,
which functioned properly prior to disconnection. Upon reconnection,
you must install a new SJ hose barb and a new, red SJ compression
fitting.
Brake hoses assembled with non-Stealth-a-majig hose barbs and
compression fittings, will not function.
2 Apply DOT grease to the hose barb threads. Thread the hose barb into
the hose until it is flush with the end of the hose.
Do not overtighten the hose barb. Overtightening may cause damage
to the hose liner.
3
Install the compression nut onto the hose.
4 Thread the compression fitting over the hose barb, counter-clockwise,
until it is flush or slightly lower than the hose barb.
The compression fitting is reverse threaded.
Apply DOT grease to the outside of the compression fitting and the
threads of the compression nut.
