The piston pushes out when the e-brake small lever on the cylinder itself is actuated. If this is not done during installation, air can become trapped in the small cavity, thus giving you a notoriously squishy pedal. Be sure to open the hydraulic system and physically squeeze the cylinder together to get the air trapped in that small pocket out. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bugeyeguy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52253344104749,"sku":"GWC1111M (or 180-075), 180-950 (C9-1.5)","price":35.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1200\/0582\/products\/cly_boot.png?v=1643899872","url":"https:\/\/bugeyeguyparts.com\/products\/economic-sprite-rear-wheel-cylinder-with-boot-early-type-sold-individually","provider":"Bugeyeguys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
