Caliper Piston Installation
Apply grease to the threads on a new hose barb. Thread the hose
barb into the hose until it is flush with the end of the hose.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten the hose barb. Overtightening may cause damage
to the hose liner.
Install the banjo boot and compression nut onto the hose. Thread a
new compression fitting over the hose barb, counter-clockwise, until it
is flush or slightly lower than the hose barb.
Apply grease to the outside of the compression fitting and the threads
of the compression nut.
Install the hose firmly into the brake caliper while threading the
compression nut by hand. Tighten the compression nut.
⚠ CAUTION
Servicing your brake caliper removes fluid from the system. You must bleed the brakes before reinstalling the brake pads. Installing the brake pads
prior to bleeding the brakes could contaminate the brake pads and lead to a brake failure. For brake bleed and brake pad replacement instructions,
consult the HydroR™ Hose Shortening and Bleed Manual at www.sram.com/service.
