Reverb leak

Hi all

I've got a leak on my reverb remote and not sure if I can fix it or not? Basically the trigger button has no pressure in it at all. I have tried to do a bleed which firmed up the trigger until I press it and all the fluid comes out. The trigger itself feels a bit loose and when I pull back the rubber cover the fluid seems to be leaking out between the remote and the trigger. Is there a way I can take the remote apart to replace what I presume is a knackered seal or is the whole remote broke?

Cheers in advance.

    When i broke my Reverb remote, like a doofus i turned the bike upside resting on the remote and for some reason felt the need to depress the front suspension *crunch*, I managed to blag a warranty repair. Anyway, I was told that the remote was a one peace assembly and that it would need to be fully replaced as it couldnt me stripped to be maintained.

    So from that i'm guessing you will need a new remote. If so you may as well by a new one and mount it under the bar if you havent done so already. Less likely to get crash damage that way.

    Looking at SRAM's website and more importantly the parts catalogue, and you can get a remote service kit which would suggest you can take the lever out of the remote - anyone know how you get the lever out of the remote?

    Cheers

    Has anyone got any ideas please?

    Don't want to fork out for a complete new remote if it's fixable.

    Thanks
