williams Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 YOO again... So I have a 2011 magura, with a swollen piston since it's waterbled. I Wan't to know how to remove the piston on this lever, I have already remowed the the lever itself from wires etc. when I pulled the lever without any wires attached to it, It came out a blue bubbly thick liquid... Is this normal to? Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph82 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 not sure on the design of the new levers exactly but when i had to get it out of on 05 i think i just put the syringe in the hole for the tube and left the bleed valve in and forced water in til it popped out by giving the syringe a bloody good push. Obviously the lever blade has to come off first! Hope that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a retard, just wan't to double check mate! Yes,the rubber thing is the O-ring,you don´t wanna touch this,just the platic part of the piston.Also just like I said in the other thread,you can(and should) use some grease(vaseline) on it just not copper grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 not sure vaseline is ideal. It's petroleum based and when i used something similar on seals at work i got a moody message left about it breaking down the seals so maybe clean up and just use a bit of bearing grease?

Yeah I have some lithium grease at my dads work, but this where only for now so I could ride for a hour or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 You need rubber grease, it's red in colour and doesn't corrode the seals over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
