Caliper Piston Removal
Remove the pistons from each caliper body half.
Remove the piston seals from each caliper body half, then clean the
caliper halves. Apply a small amount of SRAM
®
High-Performance DOT
5.1 fluid to new seals and install into each caliper body half.
⚠
CAUTION
Do not scratch the seal gland with the pick. Scratches could cause fluid
to leak when the brake is applied, which will contaminate the brake
pads and could lead to a brake failure.
NOTICE
For the best braking performance, use only SRAM High-Performance
DOT 5.1 fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, use only DOT 5.1 or 4 fluid.
Do not use grease. Grease will prevent the pistons from fully retracting
into the caliper bores, which will reduce braking performance.
