Bleed The CalIPer
a.
Open the caliper syringe clamp
B.
Gently push the syringe plunger out with your thumb. If there is air in the
caliper, this draws it back into the syringe. Release the plunger to replace
the bubbles you just removed with fluid. Tapping on the caliper with a non-
marring instrument while performing this process helps bubbles move out
into the syringe. Repeat the process until no more bubbles are drawn from
the caliper. Once this is accomplished, close the caliper syringe clamp.
Note: Be careful not to pull the plunger out too hard, or you will suck
air past the seals.

Bleed The hoSe
a.
Remove the rubber band to release the lever blade.
B.
While holding the caliper syringe up to prevent bubbles from floating back
into the system, open the caliper syringe clamp and force fluid from the
caliper syringe up to the lever syringe. Do this until the lever syringe is
approximately 1/4 full.
C.
Close the lever syringe clamp, then the caliper syringe clamp. At this point,
you are done at the caliper end. Remove the caliper syringe and re-install
the bleed port screw. Have a paper towel ready to catch any small amount
of fluid that may come out of the port when removing the syringe and
reinstalling the screw. Once the screw is installed, wash the caliper
with water to deactivate any DOT fluid.

Bleed The lever
(Master Cylinder and Reservoir)
a.
Draw a gentle vacuum on the lever syringe by pulling on the syringe plunger.
This pulls air bubbles out of the reservoir. Release the plunger to replace the
bubbles you just removed with fluid.
B.
Tapping on the lever with a non-marring instrument while performing this
process helps bubbles move out into the syringe. You should also sqeeze the
lever (like you are braking) a few times while bleeding. Repeat the process
until no more bubbles are drawn from the lever. Once the lever is bubble free,
close the syringe clamp.
C.
With the syringe still attached, rotate the lever up 90°, so that the lever body
is parallel with the floor, and the bleed port (and syringe) are pointed straight
up. Now, unscrew the syringe from the bleed port.
d.
Place a couple drops of DOT fluid on top of the open port and replace the
bleed port screw. Have a paper towel ready to wick up any fluid that may well
up in the port. Once the screw is installed, wash the lever with water to
deactivate any DOT fluid.
e.
Rotate the lever back to riding position and re-torque as follows:
• Juicy FIVE/SEVEN/CARBON: Torque to 2.8-3.4 Nm (25-30 in-lb)
• Juicy THREE: Torque to 3-5 Nm (30-40 in-lb)
Rotate shifters back to riding position and
re-torque to manufacturer's specifications.

TeST The SySTem

You are almost ready to ride, but first it's a good idea to test your brakes by pulling on the lever extremely hard (as hard
as you can imagine yourself pulling the lever while you're riding) several times. Make sure and look around the hose nut
on the lever, and the banjo bolt on the caliper for any leaks. Make one last check of all the bolts and fittings.
you are ready To rIde!
If everything checks out,
Empty the syringes into a sealed container and dispose of the fluid properly.
DO NOT RE-USE THIS FLUID!
DO NOT LEAVE THE HOSE CLAMPS CLOSED (this will damage the clear tubing on the syringes)!
