so i went to flip my bike up the other day and me being dumb grabed the break levers and pulled it up. but when i did the one of the levers came out of the little plunger on the inside, and i think it came out way easier than it should have. and since i put it in it has alot of play in it. like almost 1/2in. and i didnt see anything pop out when it happened. any help would be nice.

Peace

HFX-9 levers? There's a retaining washer and a circlip that holds the ball of the piston in. In the event the lever is struck from the end the ball gets pulled through the washer rather than the lever bending. If you just pop it back in there will be a lot of play. You'll need a new washer and a lot of patience to get it back in there.
