5Brake Service Overview

Brake Service Overview

SRAM® brake systems need to be serviced periodically to optimize braking function. If brake fluid is leaking from any area of the brake there may be damage or wear and tear to the internal moving parts. If the system has been contaminated with the wrong fluid there may be damage to all rubber and plastic internal parts. If your brake was damaged in a crash there may be damage to the lever blade, pushrod, and housing assemblies. Inspect and replace these parts to restore proper brake function.

Your product's appearance may differ from the pictures contained in this publication.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Servicing your brakes removes all of the brake fluid from the system. You must bleed your brakes after you service the brake caliper and/or lever.

• Always wear safety glasses and nitrile gloves when working with DOT fluid.

• Place an oil pan on the floor where you will be working on the brake.

• Used DOT fluid should be recycled or disposed of in accordance to local and federal regulations.

• Never pour DOT fluid down a sewage or drainage system or into the ground or a body of water.

• DOT fluids 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.

• Do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with the brake pads. If this occurs, the pads are contaminated and must be replaced.

• For best results, use only SRAM High-Performance 5.1 DO fluid. If SRAM fluid is not available, only use DOT 5.1 or 4 fluid.

Do not use mineral oil or DOT 5 fluid.

NOTICE

SRAM Guide Ultimate™ Brakes are a unique product. The Guide Ultimate caliper must be serviced before the lever. The lever must be connected to the caliper and the brakes must still have fluid in them in order to advance the pistons and service the caliper. Once the lever has been disconnected and the fluid drained it is not possible to advance the pistons.

6Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

'Sticky' or slow brake pad return excessive lever throw

If your brakes feel sticky and exhibit slow brake pad return and/or excessive brake lever throw, it may be a result of the pistons sticking in the caliper. Before completely disassembling your caliper, you can try to loosen the sticky piston by performing the following steps:

1. Clamp the bicycle into a bicycle work stand.

2. Remove the wheel from the affected caliper.

3. Squeeze the brake lever several times until the brake pads nearly contact one another.

4. Insert the Guide Ultimate pad spreader between the brake pads to spread the pads to the full width of the clip.

5. Remove the Guide Ultimate pad spreader.

6. Repeat steps 3-5.

7. Reinstall the wheel.

8. Squeeze the brake lever several times to position the brake pads to the proper distance from the rotor.

9. Center the caliper on the rotor if necessary.

10. Spin the wheel and check the brake function. The pistons should move freely and there should not be excessive brake lever throw.

If there is no improvement in the brake function, proceed with caliper service.

Remove the pistons from each caliper body half.

Use a pick to remove the piston seals from each caliper body half. Install new seals inside each caliper body half.

NOTICE

Inspect the caliper pistons for damage and replace the pistons if necessary.

Use your gloved ﬁnger to 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 shop towel.

Install new caliper o-rings onto the outboard caliper half. 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.

Insert the Guide Ultimate™ bleed block into the caliper.

⚠ CAUTION

You must bleed your brakes before reinstalling the brake pads. Installing the brake pads prior to bleeding the brakes could contaminate the brake pads and could lead to a brake failure.

Spray isopropyl alcohol on the caliper and clean it with a shop towel.

Visually check your work. If any of the o-rings protrude from the banjo fitting or banjo bolt, remove and replace the o-rings, then repeat the installation process.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Servicing your brakes removes all of the fluid from the system. You must bleed the brakes after you service the brake caliper and/or lever.

Pull the hose boot away from the brake body to expose the compression nut, then slide the boot down the brake hose.

Use an 8 mm ﬂare nut wrench to unthread the hose compression nut, then pull the brake hose and compression ﬁtting from the brake lever body.

Pour the brake ﬂuid into an oil pan. Squeeze the lever blade to force any remaining brake ﬂuid out of the lever body.

NOTICE

If the system has been contaminated with mineral oil or DOT 5 ﬂuid, ﬂush all the parts with soapy water, rinse, and allow all parts to dry prior to rebuilding. Install all new seals and a new hose.

For the best braking performance, use only SRAM® High-Performance 5.1 DOT ﬂuid. If SRAM ﬂuid is not available, use only High-Performance 5.1 DOT ﬂuid or 4 ﬂuid.

Place a shop towel over the open end of the lever body near the Contact Point Adjustment™ dial.

Use your ﬁngers to slide the Contact Point Adjustment dial out of the lever body.

⚠ CAUTION - EYE HAZARD

Wear safety glasses.

The piston assembly is spring loaded and will forcefully eject from the lever body when the Contact Point Adjustment dial is removed. Be sure to cover the end of the lever body with a shop towel to capture the piston assembly and prevent it from becoming a projectile.

Remove the piston assembly from the lever body.

Spray isopropyl alcohol on the lever body and the lever blade, then clean them with a shop towel.

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.

Use needle nose pliers to install the SwingLink™ bushings into the lever SwingLink pivot holes so that the lip of the bushing is ﬂush on the inside of the lever body.

If the SwingLink bushings fall out easily, apply a small amount of grease to the bushings to help hold them in place.

Use a caliper to verify that the push rod lenth in the SwingLink™ is

26.3 mm. Turn the push rod counter-clockwise by hand to extend the pushrod length. Turn the push rod clockwise by hand to decrease the pushrod length.

NOTICE

The push rod length must be set to exactly 26.3 mm. Any other length will reduce brake performance.

Place the SwingLink onto a 2 mm hex wrench then insert the pushrod into the coupler sleeve.
