Dumb question coming in . Do you need to re bleed the system after you install
There is no need to rebleed since the lever is left closed up.
So what's an alternative way of getting the pin out if you don't own an arbor press??
A vise or C-clamp should also work well but will be a bit harder to hold everything in alignment.
I used a vice and a smaller socket which worked well. Quite controllable.
Maybe a dumb question, but I haven't done much with my brakes myself. Do I need to disconnect the brake hose prior to removing the lever blades? Or can I just remove them without losing fluid?
No need to remove the brake hose to remove the lever blades. The master cylinder is all self contained so nothing to worry about.
@@CascadeComponents thanks, I got it installed and I'm liking the results. Basically exactly as stated on the site. Pushing the pin out with a c-clamp worked, but was a bit fiddly so took a while to get it lined up
Does this work with code r levers or just RSC?
Just RSC
I highly recommend you don’t use your pad pin to push out the pin as this damaged the threads on my pin. Instead use the blade screw for 85% of the push out and only the pad pin for the remaining 15%
We've done this a lot of times and never had the threads on the pad pin get damaged. It sounds like there might be something else at play there.
As wild as it seems, I actually just damaged the threads on the bushing using the pad pin to push it out.
Edit: I think it's because the pad pin is tapered, it can smush the first few threads if you're not perfectly lined up. On my second lever blade, I used the blade screw threaded a good ways in to get the bushing started then used the pad pin to get it the rest of the way out. I'm hoping I can find a longer pad screw tomorrow to chase the threads through from the other side otherwise I'm going to have to order a new lever.
This just happened to me as well... lovely.
Just happened to me as well. Any luck screwing the lever screw in and using that to press the pin out? Just had to order a new lever due to pad hold stripping threads. Trying to avoid a repeat with the new lever! Thanks in advance!
@@JDExperience yes that's exactly what I used to get it started, I screwed the lever screw in as much as possible to start pushing the lever pin out and then just tapped the rest out with the pad pin so the force required was less and didn't damage the threads
So…..I bought these for my G2 RSC. I thought G2 stood for “Guide 2” and that they would work. Whoops. If anyone got them to work for their G2’s let me know.
I tried to put them on the ultimate G2 levers, and the new springs wont work. I had some code levers laying around and took the springs out of those. You'll need Guide or Code levers to get the springs out of and they'll work.
