Insert the SRAM piston removal tool so that it will capture the
still-installed piston. Make sure the horse-shoe opening is aligned with
the tab on the piston plug.
Use a 2.5 mm hex wrench to install the pad retention bolt in order to
hold the piston removal tool in place.
The pad retention bolt must be installed. If the pad retention bolt is not
installed the SRAM piston removal tool may dislodge rapidly from the
caliper, which can lead to bodily injury or damage to the parts.
7 Insert a rubber-tipped blow gun chuck nozzle into the banjo port, then
place a towel over the caliper to contain any dislodged fluid.
Wear safety glasses.
The caliper piston may dislodge rapidly from the caliper, which can lead
to bodily injury or damage to the parts. Point the caliper pistons toward
a rubber surface before forcing air into the caliper.
While firmly pushing against the caliper half and chuck nozzle, squeeze
the air chuck to force air into the banjo port and dislodge the piston
from the caliper.
Continue to force air into the caliper until the piston is dislodged. Turn
the caliper over and the piston will fall out easily.
Remove the SRAM piston removal tool and piston plug from
the caliper.
