While holding both syringes upright, push on the remote assembly syringe plunger
and pull up on the seatpost syringe plunger at the same time. This will force fluid and
any air bubbles through the remote assembly, hose, seatpost, and into the seatpost
syringe. Continue to push on the remote assembly syringe plunger until it is nearly
empty.
At this point, an excessive amount of air may accumulate in the seatpost syringe
which can make the bleed process difficult. If this occurs, unthread the seatpost
syringe from the bleed port, hold the syringe with the tip pointed up, place a rag
around the tip and slowly push any air out of the syringe. Thread the syringe back into
the seatpost bleed port.
While holding both syringes upright, push on the seatpost syringe plunger until the
syringe is nearly empty and pull up on the remote syringe at the same time. You should
see air bubbles and hydraulic fluid moving into the remote syringe.
Cycle the hydraulic fluid between the remote assembly syringe and the seatpost
syringe, until no more air bubbles transfer into either syringe.
Finish the seatpost and hose bleed process with a firm push on the seatpost syringe
plunger while pulling up on the remote syringe until the seatpost syringe is nearly
empty.
Unthread the syringe from the seatpost bleed port. Use a T10 TORX® to thread the
seatpost bleed screw (the bleed screw with the flat base and o-ring) into the seatpost
bleed port and tighten it to 1.7 N∙m (15 in-lb).
