brake lever sticking 1 Year ago
|
|
|
I replace my stock lever out with wide blade style, problem is after a slight squeeze it starts sticking , i then pull harder causing the brakes to grab all at once. I have taken the lever off 3 times checking for obstructions, i have plenty of brake fluid if that matters, i dont have a clue it was fine before the swap, TIA

Sounds like your pivot point is too tight.

Just take the bolt out and grease it and the area it moves on. Make sure not to overtighten the bolt when you put it back in. A little lever play up and down is ok.

Scotto he is taking about the brake not the clutch the brake pushes a plunger to the master cylinder.  Yup, your right... I use a little gun oil there too Curt when I dont have the WD.
