adam trials Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Well i can tell you one method but t would be easier if you used the search.You will need: one clean washing up liquid bottle, or a syringe, old magura hose if possible and your buckets. With the top of the washing up liquid bottle you make the hole slightly bigger to fit the part of the hose in.Fill the bottle with water and anti-freeze.You then need to take off both bolts and pump the contents of the washing up liqiud bottle through the magura untill there is only water and the anti-freeze coming out. You then need to make sure both sides are completly submerged untill you fasten the bolts back in. Your brakes should then be fine.If this does not work then use th search and see what other people have said.Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam trials Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 When are you bleeding them i would recomed A.S.A.P because you may find some methods easier than others. Try out different ways and see what you find easiest. I find the way i posted but a few people i know find other ways easier and quicker.Adam.
