Z320 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Yeah I know, it is not possible to fit the spring plate after (first) the leaver, so I never told this. My main concerns are: - what way around to put the spring plate and the loching washer - and NEVER punch the distance washer in or out!!

michaeldavis39 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I said punch locking washer not distance washer--I'd like to see how you could possibly get the locking washer in any other way! It was a gentle tap tap not a good pounding like there's no tomorrow! Michael Edited June 7, 2020 by michaeldavis39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Hi Michael, after reading your and my post serveral times I think we both describe the same. Yes, you describe and I understand: you fit the locking washer with a little punch in its final position. This may be needed and I have absolutely made no critic about doing that. But one of my 2 main concerns, independent from your advice, is about the distance washer, the little tiny u-piece with the ends bended up: never punch THIS in or out like Buckeye describes it. This caused my much pain the first time I did that (and then never again) You and me, we are shure still friends? Ciao, Marco Edited June 8, 2020 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 No problem Marco, I wouldn't tap the tiny piece with ends bent up no - I did the other side today the same way no problems. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike JOnes Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I did this today and found this article very helpful. In fact I would have struggled without it I think. Thanks all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johannes Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hi all, can it be that the lever Springs out of the cylinder when I will press the brake. The 2 Small nippels Right and left of the lever doesnt hold. Can it be that the Spring Plates and the rubber seal are not correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
