FamilyBiker Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 replace red tpa wheel with an alu one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleys sugden Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 doesn't this happen when the thread strips in the TPA? they are normally plastic standard, they strip really easilly so the aluminium ones are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAMPIRE V12 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 how can i strip it down to figure out what needs doing? i can machine custom things if i know how it fits together when the tpa is removed it looks like its a little square hanging off the bottom of it?

Ben John - Hynes Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Take the lever blade off and spin the red wheel(with a pair of grips if really stuck) until the pin that pushes the piston comes out. Should all fall apart then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Sounds like you've got a 2004 magura. Was the TPA adjuster on top of the lever blade or inside it? If it's on top, take the lever blade apart and replace the treaded section that screws into the square bit with a long (ish) M5 bolt, that should sort it out . If it was inside the lever, you'll have to either have access to a vice or some molegrips to get it out. The red bit will be fine, it's the aluminium threaded section that will be dead and will need replacing (which you can do two ways- go here> http://www.tartybike...3/c5p10023.html and buy that or, file out the lever blade where the TPA adjustment bolt fits in so that a standrad M6 bolt will fit and move side-side, cut the head off a M6 bolt and use that . Cheers, Josh. Edited November 24, 2012 by Rob Leech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAMPIRE V12 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hey guys the TPA is on the lever its self if that helps any? and also i cannot unscrew the square with the thread inside it just spins and spins ive had the lever off but i cannot get the square bolt out :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John - Hynes Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's not a square bolt. The square is basically a captive nut. You need to take out the bolt that's inside the square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 it's an 04 maggie. The tpa was already broken i showed you this. i took the tpa dial off to show you how to change the bolt inside so you'd have your adjustment back, wilst you where messing around with your sniper and daggers.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
