remove hoSe From lever
a.
Pull the boot away from the lever, then use the crow's foot wrench (included)
to unscrew the hose compression nut. If the boot sticks, carefully pull a corner
of the boot up with something that won't harm it (like a pencil tip) and spray a
little alcohol between the boot and the lever. Once you work the alcohol in a
little, the boot should loosen up.
B.
Pull the hose from the lever. Wiggle the hose if necessary. Be careful, to spill
as little DOT fluid as possible. Any DOT that drips out will create bubbles that
you'll have to eliminate later.
C.
Slide the nut and boot down the hose and away from the end where you'll be
cutting. Be careful not to engage the lever while the hose is removed.

deTermIne ProPer hoSe lenGTh & CuT
a.
Determine where you need to cut the hose by holding it up to the lever in the
position you'd like it. The groove in the lever nose marks the spot where you'll
cut the hose. Make sure to leave a gentle curve in the hose–with enough
length to freely turn the bars. Double-check this part, because
you can't go back after you cut.
B.
Cut the hose using hydraulic hose cutters (very sharp cable-housing cutters).

re-InSTall The hoSe
a.
Push the hose firmly into the lever until it stops.
B.
While holding the hose in place, slide the compression fitting and
compression nut up to the lever, then finger-tighten the nut. You may need
to wiggle the hose.
C.
While continuing to push the hose into the lever body, use the nut wrench
to tighten the compression nut. When you feel the compression nut hit the
compression fitting, tighten approximately another 1 1/2 turns, at which point
you will feel the compression nut bottom out.
• If your compression fitting is alloy, tighten to 5 Nm (47 in-lb).
• If your compression fitting is steel, tighten to 7.8 Nm (70 in-lb).

TIme To Bleed The BrakeS
Cutting down the hose introduces a small amount of air into the system, so
at this point it is necessary to bleed the brakes for optimal performance. See the
next section, "Bleeding Procedure."
