Pad rePlaCement
1. remove Pad retainer Bolt
Start by removing the "E" clip on the wheel side of the caliper, then unscrew
the retainer bolt using a 2.5 mm hex wrench. Remove the retainer bolt all
the way.
2. PUsh the Pistons BaCk in
CODE calipers are self-adjusting, the pistons need to be pushed
back into the body to their original position before the new pads can
be installed. The safest way to do this is with the old pads still in the
caliper to protect the pistons. Place a flat-blade screwdriver between
the old pads, then carefully rock it back and forth, pushing the pistons
back into their bores.
3. remove the old Pads
Grab one of the pad tabs and slide the pad toward the center of the
caliper (this disengages the pad backing plate from the post in the
center of the piston), then pull the pad straight out. Repeat for the
other pad. Note: The spreader clip that sits in between the pads
may not come out with the second pad. If not, push it out from
the open top of the caliper with your little finger.
4. install the new Pads and sPreader
Be sure the spreader clip is oriented to the pads as shown below.
Squeeze the pad and clip assembly together, then insert into the cali-
per as a unit. Firmly push until the assembly "clicks" into place.
5. re-install Pad retainer Bolt
Replace the pad retainer bolt, tighten to torque specifications, and
replace the "E" clip on the wheel side of the caliper.
hydraUliC disC Brake hose lenGth adJUstment and BleedinG
Avid Hydraulic Disc Brakes come with hoses already attached in an "average" length. The system has already been bled,
so if you don't need to change the hose length, then you are ready to ride.
If however, you do need to change hose lengths, you will need an Avid Bleed Kit or we recommend you have a professional
bicycle mechanic perform the service for you. Avid Bleed Kits provide complete instructions and Avid tools for adjusting the
hose length as well as bleeding the brake system. The instructions are also available online at www.sram.com or
www.avidbike.com.
