[technical help] ECHO TR brake repair kit

[eXtreme_one]

Hello!

I ask the community for some technical help 
I have an ECHO TR rim brake for 3 years.
it started to leak at brake lever - i can ride 2 weeks and after that i need to bleed it again, put new oil in.

I contacted tartybikes and trialprod and recommended repair kit (as cheapest option) 
https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_spares/echo_tr_lever_body_repair_kit/c110p12634.html

I just receive the repair kit and 
I cannot find a way to remove old cilinder.
I thought it would come out easy if I unscrew the whole lever from handlebar
but the cilinder has to be inserted through the side where TPA adjustment is...

it has s stopper (CNC made from cilinder) to be inserted that way.

So i should remove the lever blade first but I don't know how
it is bolted there, not having screw like magura.

Did anyone  replace the Echo TR cilinder?? HOW?
Or at least did anyone remove the ECHO TR lever blade and manage to replace it succesfully ?


Thanks ! have a great week!
Sebastian

hi. i think the tr lever blade is held onto the pivot by a little grub screw. undo that and the pivot pin should slide out letting you remove the lever blade.  removing the piston can be tricky if it doesnt pop out by itself. you could try to insert your bleed kit into the lever with bleed screw IN and use the fluid pressure to push it out. this will make a mess though

THANK YOU MAN !!!

yes that was it!!

vertical to the blade were 2 small pins, one adjusts the lever movement and one was holding the pin that holds the lever

before asking here I saw that small pin, i unscrew it but did not think to simply push the pin out :)) i had to push it down with a thin thing and lever came out.  now I could replace old cilinder with that echo tr repair kit. new piston,cilinder everything.

works nice!

Have beautiful week!
