Is this possible without the bleed kit?
Can't seem to get all the air out of mine
no they are a bitch .unless you have a very short hose use the bleed kit.try the front one first but they are a pain to bleed.
noahs ark is the best place for the kit.
did you have a good holiday/break
you will need:
-bleed kit (sirynge, tube, connecter for screwing into caliper)
-mineral oil (preferibly magura blood)
-allen keys
-think magura resevoirs use a small torx bit, so that too
lean bike up against wall, position brake lever so resevoir is sitting horizontal, fill up syringe with magura blood/any other suitable fluid, make sure there's no air bubbles in tube or syringe
unscrew grub screw from disc caliper and srew in tubing using attatchment on bleed kit, only needs to be hand tight, now unscrew the resevoir top cap from the brake lever, you might want to put an old basin under the brake lever at this point
pump the fluid through the syringe, you should see fluid overflowing from the resevoir at this point, keep doing this until the fluid overflowing looks like the new stuff and until theres no air bubbles coming out
now replace the resevoir top cap and then remove the syringe and tighten the grub screw back into the caliper
jobs a good un'
