12Caliper Piston Installation
Caliper Piston Installation
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.
Inspect the caliper pistons for damage and replace the pistons if
necessary.
Apply a small amount of SRAM High-Performance 5.1 DOT fluid to the
circumference of each piston. Install the pistons into each half of the
caliper body.
NOTICE
For the best braking performance, use only SRAM High-Performance
5.1 DOT fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, use only DOT 5.1 or 4 fluid.
Do not use grease. Grease will prevent the pistons from fully retracting
into the caliper bores which will reduce braking performance.
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the caliper halves and both of your gloves,
and clean them with a rag.
Add a small amount of DOT compatible grease onto the installed
o-rings to help them stay in place, or to prevent them from falling out,
as you assemble the caliper.
Install new caliper o-rings onto the outboard caliper half.
