Safely compressing the LSPV?

[waLIEN]

I had to replace the LSPV. It's currently mounted and all of the brake hydraulic lines have been bled. I'm now having a hard time getting the pivoting arm on due to the LSPV's "foot" not easily compressing upwards.

Is it possible to compress the little "foot" (pointed by the green arrow in the pic) in the upward direction with something like a jack? I'd really like to avoid opening the bleed valve and having to re-bleed the system again. Thanks guys!

Hmm, it appears I was wrong in that the "foot" can be compressed. I guess I am supposed to put the lever arm inside of the "foot."

Slide the boot down the arm , do your connections then slide the boot over the whole thing. The only part that compresses is the little metal nipple that sits down within that plastic fork/ foot.
