CHECK HOSE ROUTING
Take a moment and check the routing of the hoses since you can't lengthen the hose once
you have cut it. Be sure to account for suspension movement and check that the bars turn
freely by turning the bars all the way from side to side. Make sure the hoses are properly
secured as well.

REMOVE HOSE FROM LEVER
A. Elixir CR Mag, Elixir CR: Use an 11 mm open ended wrench to hold the hose
stop in place and use an 8 mm open ended wrench to unscrew the hose
compression nut.
Elixir R, Elixir 5, Code, Juicy 3: Use an 8 mm open ended wrench to
unscrew the hose compression nut.
Note: If your brake has a hose boot, pull the boot away from the lever to access

the compression nut. If the boot sticks, carefully pry up a corner with something

that won't harm it (like the end of a zip tie) and spray some alcohol between the
boot and the lever. Work the alcohol in; the boot should loosen up and slide easily
down the hose.
B. Pull the hose from the lever, wiggling it if necessary. Be careful, DOT luid will drip
from the hose. Try not to spill too much luid because any luid that drips out will
create bubbles that you'll have to eliminate later.
C. Slide the nut and boot (if applicable) down the hose and away from the end where
you'll be cutting. Do not to engage the brake 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 posi-
tion you like. Make sure to leave a gentle bend in the hose with enough length to
freely turn the bars all the way from side to side. Double-check this part,
because you can't go back after you cut.
B. The groove in the lever nose marks the spot where you'll cut the hose.
Cut the hose using hydraulic hose cutters or very sharp cable-housing cutters.
