NOTICE
DOT brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid comes in contact with a painted surface (i.e. your frame) or printing on the brakes, wipe
it off immediately and clean it with isopropyl alcohol or water. Damage to painted and/or printed surfaces by DOT brake fluid is not covered under
warranty.
Submerge the new piston assembly in SRAM High-Performance
DOT brake 5.1 fluid.
You can also use SRAM DOT Assembly Grease, or DOT 5.1 or 4
compatible grease, as a lubricant.
Install the new lubricated piston assembly into the lever body.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the lever body and both of your gloves and
clean with a shop towel.
Use the SRAM Lever Internals Assembly Tool to press the piston into
the lever body while inserting the contact adjust knob into the contact
adjust slot.
You should hear a pop sound when the contact knob is fully seated in
place.
Press down on the contact adjust knob and remove the lever internal
assembly tool.
