Re: DRM brake bias spring install? (ShawnZR-1)

Did mine last Sat. With the large piston held between my shoe soles I held the smaller piston in with a screw driver in one hand, put the snap ring in with snap ring pliers with the otther hand. Took two tries. Not too bad. :D :D

Thanks Shawn. Sound like something to consider when I do my upgrade.

New to navigating the forum. Is there a way I can get a picture of the fixture? I'd like to see if it's something I can recreate.

It does work! Brings the rear brakes into play, shortens stoping distance.

If you live near me, or you want to send me the valve assy and the spring, I will install it for you for the cost of shipping only. Like I said, I fabricated a 'fixture" that makes it fairly easy to compress the spring and install the C ring

Happy to do it

e mail me

PS You will need to bleed the MC and maybe the brakes too
