Thanks for the video. I have a pair of trailer elixir 7 from 2014. They're now on my bike packing bike and when they work they work really well even though bleeding is pain in the butt. My problem is that even after successful bleeding over time I'll lose the brake. Almost like they're leaking air somewhere. Especially bad after storing bike upside down. so I would like to do a full rebuild. Have you tried rebuilding the banjo and lever?
No sadly not. Just take your time, keep the area clean so you don't lose anything and take photos as sometimes our minds go blank and forget how it went back together. Good luck!
story is usually not that simple.....put the pistons out and then inside O ring. U should be very careful not to damage the sealing inner point. Compressed air is usually not an off, specially when one ore more piston is stucked....this video is missing the most critical moments 🙂
I agree, this was first time iv done this and stated, so it was more a walk through of things that were simple and learning what to do next time. We got there in the end and saved the piston from been replaced.
If you've split the caliper & the pistons are stuck, use compressed air on both halves. Before assembly, lubricate both the piston seals, & the pistons with the system fluid, this makes assembly far easier.
when ever i put the screw back in i can never get it to line up with the hole on the hose

Why the irritating music?
