TheMunn Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) If you are uncertain about doing it yourself then it's usually good to get some one who know's how to do it for you. Edited March 21, 2005 by TheMunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iatola says Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 If you are trying to bleesd a magura disc brake with a syringe as with the HS33 than this will not work. Disc brakes with a resivoir such as Hope, Magura and Grimeca then you bleed it in the same way as a motorbike disc by- 1) Remove the top cap from the resivoir 2) Attach a hose to the bleed valve on the caliper 3) Pump the lever about 5-10 times to build pressure, hold lever in and release the bleed valve about 1/4 of a turn. 4) This should make oil and air bubbles come out continue process till the fluid coming out has no air bubbles in it ( you have to keep an eye on the oil level in the resivoir top it up with what it recomends it usually says on the lever) Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the one i use for my maggies, which i thought would be ok, since it is basically the same brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 They're totally different brakes Chris, you need to bleed from the caliper up on a Louise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
