spunkey_monkey_boy Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 right i've just bled my system and even done perfectly with new oil the pads take a while to return. the brake works but not that quick, yeah i know oil is slower than water but this is alot slower than oil should be and yes i've used the right oil... can anyone tell me how you clean out the slaves because i'm sure its just all the shit thats clogged up in there making them move slow, will i have to strip them and re bleed the system or can i clean the slaves some other way? any help mucho appreciated >_< ps: if you can tell me before the weekend it'd help so i can actually get some riding done at the indoor event this weekend...

Siders77 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 This is a total guess, but couldn't you pull the black pistol thingys out with some long nose pliers, get a bowl of hot water and an old toothbrush and get scrubbing? >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 i'm sure i could but i'd like to know if thats the way to do it or not. i see little point in doing it wrong and f**king it up, i'd rather try and find someone who has the answer and ask them thanks for the idea though >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 easiest way is just to hold the lever or cellotape it to the bars and clean them since the pistons will be pushed out. You can use pliers but its trickier, could use them to help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbob Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 take pads out, zip tie lever to bars so the pistons are fully out and then give em a quick clean and a little tidying up with sand paper but not too much. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 instead of a zip tie on the lever (to keep it pressed down)...just tighten up the lever bolt :lol: If it is really bad...take off the bleed screw (both ends) and attach a pump and blast some air through...then rebleed adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-king Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 tarty told me to clean the slaves by attaching a pump fitting to a bleed tube (a decent pump obviously) and blowing all the crap out the other hole in the slave (if you get what i mean) if you have been running water before, this sometimes causes the brake to clog up becuase magura fluid does not absord water, so it sepetaes out into blobs and makes a lovely mess :sleeping: just dont try to clean the inside of the slaves with WD40, water etc hope this makes sence! it's too early, so i cant explain it very well!
