Mikee Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 HelloThe lever bolt on my HS33 keeps unscrewing its self.I am going to be taking apart tomorrow but any ideas before i do?CheersJackTry using loctite or some other kind of thread lock. I have also heard a very very small amount of superglue works just aswell, but make sure you don't use too much otherwise getting it back off might not be fun.

LukasMcNeal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 The threads may be gone. If so use a longer bolt but also use a nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just tighten it back down when it comes up, pump the lever when you are tightening it till the lever goes stiff the un nip it just a tiny little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ah cheer that works but i now have the problem of the magura lever feels spongy and unresponsive. Any ideas?Have you nipped the bolt up too much so the lever's not completely free to move? Try loosening it off a touch and see how it feels.
