Hpi_Matrix_Stock Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 The vent screw on my magura lever looks like it has been cross threaded and so now leaks quite easily, if I re-tapped the hole to a bigger size and stuck a screw down it do you think it would still leak?Is it possible to make me a member for a moment so I can put a wanted ad in your fs/wtd section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee220 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 you could try putting silikone stuff around the screw and see if it doesn't leak then.But yeah you should be able to tap it out but if you do this be carful not to get the metal shavings into the brake cos it could naker the seals. Plus make sure you don't split the lever body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomer Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have a similar problem on my rear maggie but it is the little washer that is on the screw because it is slightly mangeld it isn't a tight fit. just do it up rearly tight or cover it with silicone or even better buy a spare one.
