psycholist Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Haven't bled my Maguras since about 2001... I have replaced most of the lever internals (TPA bushings, pushrods to the pistons and threaded bolt from the TPA knob have all been mashed from use and replaced at least once and the brake still doesn't leak. Try using Magura oil (Or failing that try Citroen suspension fluid - LHM oil). No problems at all with leakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
