NOTICE
DOT 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 fluid is not covered under warranty.
Submerge the new piston assembly in SRAM® High-Performance 5.1
DOT fluid.
You can also use SRAM High-Performance 5.1 DOT fluid or 4
compatible grease, as a lubricant.
Insert the piston assembly into the lever body.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the lever body and both of your gloves,
then clean them with a shop towel.
Use the SRAM Guide Lever Internals Assembly Tool to press the
piston into the lever body. While pressing down on the piston, with the
half moon shape of the tool turned toward the lever opening, insert
the contact adjust dial half way into the lever then remove the tool.
Continue to insert the dial so that it is fully seated into the lever body.
You should hear a pop sound when the contact knob is fully seated in
place.
