Guest itstroy08 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I was using waterAnd for a challenge tried oil, oil in my opinion sucks, My pads never return to where they are supposed to be, Its slower, More expensive, Messier, and smells funnySo just a heads up and water bleed all the way. Easy to do aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You can't bleed Echo brakes with water it will rot the sills.What echo sill..Which parts is the sillseals...inside the lever body, the small oring on the piston that seals the system and prevents water leaking..Although water DOESNT rot the seals, it just to thin for the echo seals to retain fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest itstroy08 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Can i use singer oil to bleed the brakeJust use Magura Royal Blood mate, its costs in the region of £3 off tartybikes, and there is enough to bleed 2 brakes with it.

sstein Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) You can use most types of oil. Citreon brake fluid (the old mineral oil one) is the same as magura blood but a different colour, I use cooking oil but this is a bit thick, someone suggested baby oil so I will try this. And no do not bleed deng brakes with water they will leak, just use oil.P.S. why can no one in this thread spell correctly or use grammar? Edited July 8, 2009 by sstein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thank you, i read that earlier, but itdoesn't say how to get the old oil out, without using a bleed kit... Should i just hold it underwater and pull the lever with my finger over the other hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONZA_TRIALS Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 undo the slave sylinder bolt , press the lever and all the oil should come out , thats how you flush a hs33 x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
