Thought this would be hard as my dust cap has torn and is hanging out from the piston but already took it apart to inspct it and gonna order the parts for the rebuild, thanks for the help dude. 👍
Yes but only a lever bleed. There will be fluid in the caliper and hose. Once you connect the lever you can fill the reservoir and then flick the brake lever and it should dislodge any air in the system. As there's fluid in the caliper and hose the only place for air is right where you screw the hose in to the lever and in the lever it self.
I'm in the UK and there's quite a few places. Ebay, SJS Cycles, BikeTart, BikeGoo and winstanleysbikes just to name a few shops I use for Hope spares. HBSP218 is for the lever blade. HBSPC16T is the rebuild kit for the lever. Was not sure what you was after so have listed them both. 👍
No the Tech 3 is a different and better design in my opinion. This is just known as the "Tech Master Cylinder" It's from around 2007. The Tech 3 came out around 2012.
I watched this video because I wanted to see the piston seals replaced. The hardest part of the job. You did that away from the camera. What the hell.
Getting seals off is easy but yes putting news ones back on can be difficult as they are so tight. It was weird of me not to add it to the video.

If changing just the levers will the system need to be bled again ?

@@Chambers36TheEnter thanks for quick reply and help , so replacing the tech 3 lever is a different process ?
@@jake30966 The break down of the Tech 3 lever is slightly different yes.
Is this M4?
M4 is the name Hope give to one of their calipers.
Tech Master Cylinder is the name for this lever.
T10 tamperproof bit .
Thanks. Maybe they don't want you to service your own stuff, seems a weird place to put them.
Do you have a contact details? I would like to send you my brakes for service thanks
Yes it was on the box for the lever I sent you 😉
