Da Make Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi, I need help with removing the master cylinder pipe/bore (seen on top left). Lever is Hope Closed Pro (Like this one.) What tool I'm supposed to use? How to work it out? Any help would once again be big (Y) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 You need a pair of small internal circlip pliers, some goggles, and a bit of patience! Disconnect the hose from the lever (be careful of Dot fluid spillage), remove the lever blade, to leave the push rod sticking out of the lever. Pull the black dust seal off, to reveal the circlip and brass washer. The circlip will come out with a bit of effort, and the piston will pop out along with the spring. Then, just work backwards, and re-bleed - job done (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Its the same process, apart from you pull the old sleeve out*... *only possible on some models of brake - send it back to Hope if in doubt (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 In my brake there is no replaceable sleve as adam said its only in the newer levers that its replaceable (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 talk to dave85 (edd potts) as he may be able to bore out the old cylinder so you can put a sleeve in-solving your problem (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
