kaybs41282 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Check out Revolvers signature he has a how to video... it makes your brake feel nice and light when you squeeze it... and it's cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 could someone tell me the benefit of bleeding magurra hs33'S with water and antifreeze? and can i do it to standard hs33 set up? Benefits: Free (well, antifreeze costs a little bit) to rebleed, you can do it wherever you like, and it's a thinner, lighter feeling fluid than the oil. Drawbacks: unless you add antifreeze the brake will freeze in winter, and some pistons sometimes absorb a bit of water over time. You can do it to a standard HS33.

benjie1992 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 cheers guys, its just my back brake has started slipping recently, so was going to bleed it, while i was there thought it could be beneficial to replace the oil with water and antifreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 A slipping back brake doesn't necessarily need bleeding. If it feels squidgier than usual that's the sign for a rebleed. Slipping brake needs cleaning/(re)grinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Anti-freeze is apparently not particularly good for brakes though :\ its probs best for winter just to use oil in winter really Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Anti-freeze is apparently not particularly good for brakes though :\ I dunno, it's not eaten through the seals in my brake in the 3 years it's been since I last bled my brake. The tubing in your car it runs through is also made from plastic, it hasn't eaten through those in the 11 years my car's been around for either.
