Magura Tube Replacement Help

[psycho]

Hi guys,

just ripped a tube out while out today.i have replaced tubes before using the good old two blocks of nylon and a hammer that comes with the magura service kit but as im at uni i dont have access to a vice

just wondered if anyone knows a way to replace the metal screw into the tube, without using a vice.

ive tried using hot water to soften the tube without success.

i took it to my b*****d LBS and they said they wouldnt do it because they are not qualified magura technitions.

thanks a lot

Sounds like they aren't even qualified to sell bikes.

As you've done in the past it isn't hard with a vice.

I've used home made wooden block when I didn't have proper ones.

AS for the vice... you need leverage... go to you're least fav door and open it, then hold the hose/block thingies in the hinge side passing the hose through from other side. Then bash with big rock or a hammer.

Haven't tried this but I will next week when I have to make up hoses for my girlfriend bike. I'll see if I can do it! :turned:

ask the lbs if you can do it then.. pay them.. just get it done. Try the door thing also it may work
