if you use the submerged method for bleeding your maggies that should loosen up the side which is sticking water does not damage the brakes unless the freeze up and the leavers hit something(by falling over etc)i have gone through 2 levers by this happening if you add anti-freeze it does not clog anything up and if your bike does fall against anything they will just push the pads to the rim as it does when you brake normaly
