m-a-d rider Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 hi i am not sure on this topic as i have not looked into it much so any help would be apriciated, but my hs-33's are in desperate need of a bleeding. i have heard that this process can be done by using a bucket of water and using water instead of brake fluid but after looking into it i found out that this would rot the inside of the brake. if anybody with useful information could reply i will be very greatful,many thanks, james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flas12345 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 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...
