Lawnmowerman Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ideally you need the 2 hard plastic hose clamp thingys to hold the hose while you hammer the barb in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 cup of boiling water, dip it in for about 20 seconds or so, push like f**k until it goes on. Keep dipping it in if it doesnt go all the way on 1st time, just make sure you dont take the barb off for that. Dont scald yourself either.

Lawnmowerman Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Read what si-man said mate. You'd need to buy an authentic magura bleed kit to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) See the 2 white blocks, they are what you need, along with the boiling water. You also need a vice idealy so you can clamp it up. That kit is about £20 from what I remember, all you ever need really. there is a guide somewhere to bleeding if you don't know hoe to do it, just have a search in the FAQ section.

Concussion Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I once used a BMX stem as a make shift plastic hose clamp thingy, I just clamped the hose close to the bolts and tightened the top of the stem on to it... not the best set-up in the world but it worked. But yeah, heat the tube with boiling water and tap the barbed bolt in `straight` with a hammer. If you get the first lip of the bolt in, just heat both some more and keep going.
