joe b Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Tried a few times with no joy, then again with help from a friend and it is rideable but just has so much air in the system! So what is the correct way to bleed a magura HS33 with a monty hose splitter?? Any help much appreciated...Thanks in advance,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 bleed from the master cylinders (ie, syringe at the wheel end) and bleed them one at a time. So leave the bung bolt in at the other cylinder.Try this it should work, i think thats how i did mine, remember to reset the tpa to zero, i always forget that, duh!!hope this helps-Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich9804 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 never done it but i would of thought from the lever, open 1 bleed screw bleed a bit, close then do the other?I should have thought something like this, but maybe turn the bike upside down also may help to keep air moving in the direction of the fluid Obviously at the end you'll have to turn the bike back up for the last bit at the slaves to be air free HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAB Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 The easy way is to bleed up from the slaves (on the wheel end) one at a time...And to make sure you have no air, tap the hose splitter as you bleed and take your time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
