- Hey TH-cam,
This video will show you how to take apart a SRAM Guide R lever body and replace the piston assembly. This video also shows you how to put the lever blade on correctly step by step. Please check it out, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe. I will also be giving this brand new lever body away to anyone who subscribes and comments on the video (feedback is always welcome). I will draw a name on December 19th.
Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!! High level education video!!!
Great vid homie. Finally started having this issue with my G2r. Theyre under warranty but I cant wait that long and run a DIY channel as well. First time dabbing into SRAM. You really helped me out. Hope youre still making videos. Your really informal and patient.
Hey @HippieMTB,
I really appreciate the comment, and I definitely need to get back to making videos.
Thanks again!
Thank you for keeping things mostly in focus. Made a huge difference.
I'm just about to fix mine, thank you for the SRAM guide
This saved my ass at work today putting on a new lever blade. Great video! Thanks!
Great addition on the lever blade. That bloody spring takes loads of faffing about if your not paying attention taking it apart. I think that took me the longest. Kudos.
Perfect! Thank you. Easy to follow!
Thanks, great video
🎉❤ Thank You! You made it easy
Excellent Would this also work for the code r brakes What length of piston should I buy thinking of upgrading the alloy pistons
Thanks so much for the video! Very helpful! I assume you sent the extra right Scram Guide brake that you have to a commenter long ago, but if not, that's exactly what I'll be needing for my bike.
The winner never responded, would you like it? I’ll mail it to you if you’re in the US. We might have to figure something out if you’re out of the US.
Best,
Nate
Well gentlemen, it looks like only two of you commented. I’ll post the video soon of who won the lever body and then send it to you.
Had a problem with that snap ring stuff... mine was not used for quite some time and everything is stuck.. this video is a start... hope to find a proper anap rjng tool or just have to make myself one.. thanks...
Uzun süre kullanılmadığında hava yapıyor mu ?
👍👍👍
Hey Eamon Lee,
You won the SRAM Guide R Lever body! Please message me privately with a mailing address and I will send that lever to you.
Thank you for your comment and for subscribing.

My lever’s a little sluggish coming back, was wondering if I could just pour some dot fluid down the piston channel from the outside (where the lever push rod is) instead of pulling the whole thing apart. Great video man!!
Hey @MaquinasDePalomitas,
When was the last time you bleed your brakes? If you haven’t bleed them in a while, I would try that first. And if they are still sluggish, then your piston might be grabbing or need to be cleaned and greased, so you would have to take it out. Let me know what you think.
Best,
Nate
@@watchnato Hey man, let me just say how grateful I am, the video is super helpful and taking the time to answer just blew my mind. I’ve never bled the brakes, I’ve had the bike since new, 5 years ago. The bleed kit just arrived so I’ll probably do the bleeding first thing in the morning. Thanks again man!!
No problem, I really hope it helps!
I have the same lever and I’m having problems bleeding i can’t push fluid though the system it’s completely solid as if a valve isn’t open, I’ve taken the lever apart and mine seems to have a red piece at the end of the spring unlike yours. The problem I have is definitely to do with the lever as I disconnected the hose and tried syringing the fluid through and again it was solid and nothing come out of the open cable end
Hey Alfiedonk1,
Describe the little red piece? Is it part of the valve assembly? Also, did you check the cable? There is a little red hose barb at the end of the cable.
Best,
Nate
did you have any luck? i have the same issue
Some people take the hose off, undo the bleed port and reservoir, then blow compressed air into the hose port on the lever body.
I had one set that I had to remove the piston as per this video, then clean and polish the barrel the piston slides in. There was rubber melted and stuck to the walls
I have a problem during hot weather with my GUIDE T brakes. Could U tell me pls are there the same plastick piston or another? I want to order replacement alu details.
THX
Hey Odissey013,
The Guide T brake is pretty much the same as the Guide R; the change or Mai. Difference between the two went into the lever reach adjustment. I’m not aware of ordering an aluminum replacement piston for them, but the SRAM guides have been known to have issues when they heat up. Best solution or my opinion would be to get different brakes, or pull out the piston, clean it, and apply some SRAM lubricant on it.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I was of any help.
Best,
Nate
I cant comprehend reasons to replace one plastic piston, which expanded in case of heat, for another the same piston, which will create the same headache to you after some tearm. May you have bought updated version by SRAM, can you tell me about it? thx a lot
Its those 2 proprietary seals that you need to replace
the piston should move freely inside? Because mine is stuck, I must push it out from the cable side.
Edit: What did you use on the rubber seal?... some kind of vaseline?
They all stick, the seals are cheap and swell then disintegrate in the body
