Note: Required tools are not included in the package.

Hardness Comparison

The kit allows for various combinations of elastomer springs to adjust the brake feel. The hardness ranges from soft to very hard depending on the combination of Ø13 and Ø12 springs (red and green).

Assembly and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to avoid damage to the vibration motor cable:

1. Turn the brake preload screw to the backside end position (lowest preload).
2. Insert the included installation tool (Fix-1) behind the brake assembly to retain a gap between the brake assembly and the pedal arm.
3. Loosen the small screw (a) with a 2.5 mm Allen key and remove the thin bolt (b) from the brake pedal lever.
4. Disconnect the loadcell cable from the 'Brake' port on the mainboard and remove it from the cable clips.
5. Turn the brake assembly downwards out of the brake pedal lever.
6. Remove the original Polyurethane springs and store them safely.
7. Insert the new Polyurethane spring (E) into the preload screw.
8. Select two elastomer springs (A-D) based on your preference and apply Lithium grease (F) to their surface.
9. Insert the selected elastomer springs into the preload screw.
10. Insert the brake pedal bolt into the preload screw.
11. Turn the brake assembly back into the brake pedal lever using the installation tool, then reconnect the loadcell cable to the 'Brake' port.
12. Insert the thin bolt (a) into the brake pedal lever through the black block at the brake bolt, then tighten the small screw (b) with a 2.5 mm Allen key.
13. Adjust the preload screw so the scale is within the correct use range and there is no mechanical play in the brake pedal.

Important Usage Notes

Preload Screw: The preload screw is no longer used for full-range adjustment as before. Its use is now limited exclusively to eliminating mechanical play in the brake pedal.

Cable Safety: Always take care of the cables during assembly to avoid pinching or damage, which is not covered by the warranty.
