rider_01 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 you can do it with a bowl of watertake the whole brake of and put it under a bowl full of water take the bolt from from the piston and let the oil flow out when it all comes out refill the bowl and put the brake back under thewater and pump the lever a couple of times to get the water flowing through the brake then keep the brake under water and and put thebolt back in and there you go re-fit back to you bike and job done!

flas12345 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 hi,i bleed my maguras myself i find it easy. i take all my brake off my bike, take the pads off also. i then fill my sink up full to the top with water then i add a bit of anti-freeze as i bleed them with water and anti-freeze. i then unscrew the 2mm allen key bolt in the lever and the 5mm allen key bolt on the piston itself. i then get all my equitment which is a seringe and a hose with a magura barb in it. i then fill the seringe with my water and anti-freeze mix making sure there are no air bubbles in the seringe. now i make sure my brake is fully under the water i have to this to make sure no air gets in the brake. then i screw my hose into the lever with the hose attached to the seringe. now i insert all the water and anti-freeze into te brake whilst pumping my lever at the same time. i do this twice to make sure there is enough in the brake. then still making sure the brake is fully under the water, unscrew the hose out of the lever and screw the 2mm allen key bolt back into the lever. i then screw the 5mm allen key bolt back into the piston whilst the brake is stil under the water. now you have a fully re-bled brake i have done this many of times on my bike and my friends bike and it works a treat hope this helps you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
