I just bought a pair of new Shimano disc brakes M595 Deore here in Thailand(80quid), but the levers are on the wrong side.
Can I just swap them over without bleeding them, or do I need to fit new olives, bleed them, etcc etc???
Just be careful and dont yank em out & you should be able to just swap them without bleeding. When you get one out put some cling film on the end while of the hose & lever while you mess about with the other side, stops the oil dripping out.
I have done swaps without rebleeding, it just requires care.
thanx, must be worth a try. bikeshops and shimano spares not so easy for me to find here
If you pay for me to fly to Thailand I will come out and do the swap for you. I will even bring spare parts and mineral oil just in case 😆
