    Has anyone pulled their Hope mini lever out too far?
    I haven’t taken mine apart yet but any ideas on the broken part?
    Did you fix it yourself?

    chances are you’ve popped one or both of the circlips that hold it all together..
    expect to swear a lot as you put it back together.

    As above, possible circlip damage,and distortion to the brass retaining washer it holds in.9 times out of 10 the brass washer can be laid on a hard flat surface, and straightened with a well aimed hit from a hammer, this is a good thing as they’re nearly £4 each.Be gentle/careful when dis-assembling and the piston will stay in it’s bore, so you won’t need to bleed it.

    Just buy the rebuild kit and take it apart, you won’t believe how easy it is, only problem is you will have to bleed it after, but that’s not really a problem
