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.
Install the washer on the piston assembly.
Push the piston assembly into the lever body and secure the snap ring
in its groove. Orient the snap ring eyelets opposite the opening in the
lever body.
Use a 10 mm deep socket against the snap ring to push the piston/
washer/snap ring assembly into the lever body and insure it is seated
in the lever body..
