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
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the caliper halves and both of your gloves
and clean them with a rag.
3 Add a small amount of DOT compatible grease onto the new caliper
square body seals, then install onto the caliper.
