Piston Assembly Installation
NOTICE
DOT fluid will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid comes in contact with a painted surface (e.g. 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 fluid is not covered under warranty.
Submerge a new piston in SRAM® High-Performance DOT 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 piston assembly into the lever body.
Clean the lever body.
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.
