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 5.1 brake 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 rag.
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.
