10. Once you are sure that all air has been evacuated from the system, close the bleed screw on the
caliper, and then the one on the master cylinder. Tighten the bleed screws to 52-61 In-Lbs (6-7 Nm.)
The caliper bleed screw is easiest tightened if the piston side pad adjuster is being held with a 5mm
hex wrench. Remove the hoses from the bleed screws, and return the fluid in the receptacle bottle to
the source bottle only if it does not appear contaminated or discolored.
11. Reposition the brake lever and tighten lever clamp bolt to 72-108 In-Lbs (8-12 Nm.) Pull firmly on
the brake lever several times and check for leakage at the bleed screws and brake line fittings. The
brake should feel firm as you pull against the vinyl T-handle. Once you are sure that there are no sys-
tem leaks and all air has been removed from the brake, remove the vinyl T-handle from the caliper
slot.
12. Before handling the brake pads or rotor, clean the outside of the lines, caliper, and lever with the
detergent / hot water solution, and wash your hands. Also be sure to clean the slot in the caliper and
the pistons with detergent and hot water. Rinse washed parts and allow to air dry, then re-install the
pads and the wheel.
13. Adjust the brake lever reach with the 2mm hex screw and set the pad clearance using the two
5mm hex pad adjusters as described in the "PAD ADJUSTMENT" section above. Remember that the
fixed side pad must be set as closely as possible to the rotor without dragging.
Note: Also clean the syringe and hoses with the detergent solution. Don't leave fluid in the syringe, as
this will damage the seal in the syringe.
REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE LINE
CAUTION: USE ONLY CODA DISC BRAKE LINE REPLACEMENT KIT (PART # QBDT/110).
OTHER BRAKE LINES MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH CODA BRAKE FLUID OR MAY BURST
UNDER PRESSURE.
CAUTION: REMOVE WHEEL AND PADS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE DISCONNECTING
BRAKE LINES! MAKE SURE THAT THE PADS AND BRAKE ROTOR STAY CLEAN AND FREE
OF OIL, GREASE, AND BRAKE FLUID. BEFORE HANDLING THE BRAKE PADS OR ROTOR,
CLEAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE BRAKE LINES, CALIPER, AND LEVER WITH THE DETERGENT
AND HOT WATER SOLUTION, RINSE WITH CLEAN WATER, AND ALLOW TO AIR DRY, AND
WASH YOUR HANDS! IF THE ROTORS ARE CONTAMINATED WITH BRAKE FLUID, CLEAN
THEM WITH THE DETERGENT AND HOT WATER SOLUTION, RINSE WITH CLEAN WATER,
AND ALLOW TO AIR DRY. IF THE PADS ARE CONTAMINATED, DISCARD THEM AND USE NEW
PADS.
The CODA Disc Brake line replacement kit includes new brake line, replacement compression fer-
rules, and hydraulic line inserts.
Note: When replacing an entire brake line, it is easiest to attach the new line to the caliper first, and
then to the brake lever master cylinder. You will also need to cut off and discard the silver line fittings
which are installed in the ends of the new hydraulic line, they are only for use on the Competition
brake.
The procedure for replacement of the brake line is identical to that of shortening the brake line, except
that the line must also be refit at the caliper. On the Expert Disc Brake, the hydraulic line uses identi-
cal compression fittings on each end.
1. First, remove the hydraulic line from the master cylinder as instructed in steps 1-3 of the "SHORT-
ENING BRAKE LINES" section above.
2. With an 8mm wrench, unscrew the threaded fitting from the caliper and pull the line out.
3. Using the old line as a guide, cut the new line to length. Note that the new line is 110" long, so that
10.
