megamomac Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) ive found for louise singe piston models- fully de adjust the pad wear bolt, take back pad adjuster off and remove pads. completely remove brake from bike and lay flat on the floor with a cloth under the lever.un screw the bleed bolt from the caliper and remove the cap from the resovoir. attach the syringe and push fluid through, when sufficient fluid has been bled through and no air bubbles are being pushed otu, then remove the syringe. replace the bolt in the caliper, then cap for the resevoir. when replacing bleed bolt make sure it does not turn the adjuster on the caliper there you have it Edited June 17, 2004 by megamomac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Which model is it Al?You'll probably find a small grub screw in the caliper somewhere... you whip this out and then bleed from the bottom up with a syringe (unlike Hopes).Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Up above, it says to put the bolt back in the caliper, and then put the top cap on the lever, am I not right in saying that as soon as you remove the syringe, unless the lever itself is sealed, the oil will piss everywhere?Not a better idea to put the cap on the lever first, then remove the syringe and bolt it up? That's how I do my maggies anyway? Edited August 15, 2006 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
