IM sure i read somewhere if you send them off avid will service and bleed juicys for something like £15 a set. Assuming this is true (should have taken more note) its a bargin compaired to seal kits, especially if they do the bushes in the levers while there at it.
Any one know anything about this?
Got a pair of 3yo J3's in need of the tlc and am hesitance to fork our for a seal kit only to find them past it.

Doubt if you'll get a service for £15(i'd want at least that to cover just a bleed), may have been a goodwill type gesture from the warranty dept as trade prices on the parts will easily stack up to that amount.If you've looked after them, kept them clean and dried after riding them over the last 3 yrs, then they'll probably be fine for servicing, but if you've left them covered in wet mud, festering in a damp garage, then you'll probably find lots of corrosion in the caliper seal grooves will render it a pretty dodgy repair.(cost of a replacement caliper at rrp will equal a new Shimano M575 sytem, may be worth cutting your losses?)
I bought a new Juicy 3 bleed kit complete with fluid from the Bay for a tenner and it worked a treat (the Avid one is 40 quid! )
Might be worth a punt - clean yours up, change the fluid and see what happens.
NB I am pretty sure these Juicys come up on here from time to time. One chap sold a nearly new set for a crazy price (was it 30 quid with discs?)
