Ben John-Hynes Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) The best way to do it is to do a "Submerge Bleed"Fill a bucket/sink with waterUndo your TPA all the wayTake out the Bolts from the lever and the cylinder,Put the whole brake under water,Cover one of the holes up with a finger and pump the lever 'til no air is coming out,Now put your finger over the other hole,and pump until no air is coming out.when all of the air is out of the system,put the bolts back in under water.Ben Edited March 23, 2008 by Benjaminge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_RIDE_ECHO! Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Personally i would say just bleed it as you do with oil. Because you dont have to take the brakes off the bike and it is less hastle, but some people would say differently. Firstly unscrew your TPA if it works then take the bolt out of your slave cylinder, attach the pipe with the syringe on, then take the bolt out of your lever screw the other pipe in and then pump the water through until there is no air bubbles. Flick the hose if needed to release trapped bubbles, then put your finger over the hole (at the lever end) pump the syringe so the pads go in and out. While keeping your finger over the end of the pipe, unscrew the pipe with the syringe on, screw your bolt back in, then you can take your finger off the pipe. Then unscrew the other pipe so there are no more pipes attached then screw the bolt back in, then turn your TPA to how you like it and your done.CHIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Shields Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 My Magura isn't the hs 33 its the hs11, and what's a TPA..? Im guessing a pad adjust but my lever hasn't got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing a pad adjust but my lever hasn't got one.(I think) correct me if i'm wrong there is a little bolt in between the lever and the handle bar which is the TPA and if you adjust that it will move your pads CHIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Shields Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for the advice people, Finally re-bled the brake and it is so much sharper I decided to go for the 'Submerge-Bleed'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
