As long as it's a magura one :blink: Secondly I have got to bleeding my maggie, and done what some off the search topics say and my mates but the water doesn't seem to be going round the magura, is there something im doing wrong? can someone please tell me step by step of what to do? ← There are plenty of instructions around, search on Google or whatever. Maybe check the FAQ too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 drain fluid put lever and cylinder underwater in a bath of water hold finger over the hole on the lever as you pump the lever down and take off as you let the lever return , repeat until no bubbles come out of the slave cylinder jobs a goodun , has worked for me once a month for about 6 months :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 connect a cycle pump to one of those clear tubes you get with the magura bleed kit. then connect it to the magura, and start pumping. oil will shoot out of the other end of the system (if you removed both bleed bolts of course, as usual) and pump a fair bit until you can see no spray of oil. connecting it to air lines at a workshop is even better, and pretty fun too! then just bleed through it a few times and lots of crap will come out of the other end. then fill her up as usual.
