SRAM Disc Brake Caliper Seal Kit - Code (2011-2017) | Guide RE
What does the SRAM Code/Guide RE Caliper Seal Kit service?
The SRAM Disc Brake Caliper Seal Kit for Code (2011–2017) and Guide RE replaces the internal seals inside the caliper pistons and bore — the components responsible for keeping hydraulic fluid contained within the caliper body and maintaining consistent piston movement and return. Over time and miles, caliper seals degrade from heat cycling, fluid absorption, and mechanical wear, producing symptoms like fluid weeping from the caliper body, pistons that drag rather than retract cleanly after release, or brake feel that degrades even with fresh fluid and pads. Replacing the caliper seals is the correct service step for these symptoms; a bleed alone does not address worn or compromised seal integrity. This kit contains OEM-spec seals for one complete caliper rebuild.
The Code (2011–2017) was SRAM's gravity-oriented high-power brake for its era, and Guide RE serves as the entry-level four-piston caliper — both use the same internal seal geometry covered by this kit. Caliper seal service requires removing the pads, carefully retracting and removing the pistons, cleaning the bore, installing new seals with the correct lubrication, reinserting pistons, and completing a full DOT fluid bleed. This is an intermediate-level service task that is well within reach for a mechanically confident home mechanic with the right tools. For shops running Code or Guide RE equipped bikes through regular service intervals, stocking this seal kit means caliper rebuilds are a same-day turnaround. Do not ride a caliper with active fluid weeping — contaminated pads and rotors will require replacement in addition to the seal service.
