28 RS Lever Blade Installation
Install the compression nut onto the hose.
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.
Apply SRAM ® DOT grease onto the compression nut and install the
compression fitting and nut into the lever.
Use a flare nut crowfoot with a torque wrench to tighten the
compression nut to 8 N·m (71 in-lb).
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the lever body and clean it with a rag.
⚠ CAUTION
Servicing your brakes removes all of the fluid from the system. You must bleed the brakes after you service the brake caliper and/or lever.
