      What is the size of the lever circlip that you replaced, as trying to source some spares.

      Thank you , reviewing it I feel like i could have done lots better. But when i get round to the tech4 I'll have a very close up and detailed rig and be even more quick with explanations ect.

    This helped me today, just a tip for the small piston seal. I put the piston vertically in a vice, wrapped in a piece of leather to protect it, I then used some Knipex A0 circlip pliers to stretch the seal over the piston.I then used a old Tig welding tungsten in place of the pick to get seal in place.

    Great walkthrough! One thing to add (and it isn't in the exploded diagram either) there was a 2mm grub screw on the backside of the reach adjuster housing that pushes against the pivot pin on my master cylinders. I thought my pin was completely seized as it wouldn't come out, even with mallet persuasion! The grub screw needs to be removed to take the pin out and I got a new one in the rebuild kit.

    Could you use the red rubber grease for the pistons of the caliper? People are saying don’t lube the seals or pistons with grease, use the brake fluid, but in hopes video, they use silicone grease, so hoping the red rubber grease is a good alternative?

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you definitely can , the pressure you brake line generates is much greater than what a bit of grease can withstand if it were to make its way to a port. I would do it with no hesitation

    Thanks for the video, can you help with my problem please?
    I don't seem to be able to push the piston in far enough to reassemble the lever, the piston won't push in any further so I can't line up the holes to put the pivot pin through. Everything looks to be assembled in the right way, the seal kit is correct, the seals look to be the right size, the piston (complete with seals and spring) look identical to my old one (I took a picture) and the spring is oriented the right way.

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Steven , this part can be really tricky , in the video i already knew what to expect but i rebuilt another one before hand just make double sure , what might help is turning the adjusters all the way anti clockwise. I'll try measure the piston exposure on a tech 3 lever with the lever and that litte arm removed and let you know if you have not come right yet.
      Might only be friday cause work is killing me right now.

    JustFrana can you mix this leverls with Guide RE calipers? Thanks a lot

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      in theory yes , both work with dot fluid so they'll work fine but I don't know if the hope lever displaces enough fluid to move the pistons of the guide caliper enough.
      so once you've got everything built up i think you will find you get alot of lever pull until the pads eventually "bite" , you might be able to get around this by advancing the pistons in the caliper when the pads are out or by somehow overbleeding the system to get more fluid in there to take up the extra space.
      So I think it might work but if it does it's probably not going to work as good as you expect.
      Let me know if you do try it and what the outcome was. :)

    Hi, I have only one q: what kind of grease have You used? Can be the same as one for the shocks seals? Grate footage btw. Going to work with my hope brakes.

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Suspension grease might be a little thin , I'd go for any heavy really thick grease made for hydraulic applications. If you do go with something like slick honey just open up the levers more regularly to make sure everything inside is still properly lubricated.

      Ok. I did it. Seems both seals are swollen in my case. It could cause this horrible drag pushing the lever. The strange thing is there was no grease inside the master cylinder. Could DOT wash it out? Are U sure we need grease? My brake is a few months old and has never been bleed yet.

  • @neonalon
    @neonalon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Two signs the lever needs a rebuild although the brakes are working good-ish:
    -Dropping brake fluid level while still having a pretty good bite point. The level drops very slowly though, in 18 months between checking/bleeding it wasn't enough to cause any problems. Note, dropping level can have other causes too.
    -Black residue in the reservoir from seals that degrade.
    So remove the top cap and take a look.

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can use dot 5.1 or dot 4, I prefer dot 5.1 cause it's slightly thinner and translates to A beter lever feel. But if dot 4 is all you have , you can go right ahead.

    • @JustFrana
      @JustFrana  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think if it's happening that often after you've ruled out the lever your hose might be scratched up or you myght have a small issue in your caliper which is unfortunately a little more tricky to check and you'll need some specific tools from hope.
