Learning How to Bleed Magura Brakes

The process, the tools involved, and dealing with oil “leaking” and “bleeding” from the hydraulic hose was quite stressful. I set myself up for the task of installing and bleeding Maguras for my Dualtron Eagle Pro and Dualtron Ultra 2 electric scooters after watching a few YouTube videos and getting a lot of advice from my friend Ronel. For riders looking to install Maguras, check out my video and written instructions below. Hopefully, this will help you with your Magura install and answer any burning questions about the Magura bleed job!

How to bleed Magura brakes

Remove caliper brake pads and screws
Place plastic bags under lever and caliper
Pour royal blood in cup
Fill syringes with 1/2 for lever syringe, 3/4 for caliper syringe
Remove bleed screw from caliper and insert lever syringe securely
Remove rear caliper, remove bleed screw, insert caliper syringe, make sure its tight, so it doesnt leak as much oil
Carefully pump caliper syringe until 1/4 oil is left in syringe
Check the top syringe for bubbles
Pump top syringe slowly, check bottom syringe for bubbles, until 1/4 oil is left
Pump each syringe back and forth until no more bubbles
Pull on the brake lever 3-4 times, this will help eliminate bubbles in the hose
Slowly push the syringe oil from bottom to top and revserse. Be-careful not to do this too fast or hard, this can lead to oil leaking from caliper or lever bleed ports!!
When theres no more bubbles, you can see a solid blue color in the hose/syringe.
Remove bottom syringe, add bleed screw and tighten, make sure nothing is loose and no oil is leaking
Remove syringe from top lever, and add bleed screw and tighten
Clean both tools, lever, and caliper with rubbing alcohol and paper Towel
Align caliper and pads to rotor, spin tire to make sure no rubbing occurs
Test out lever, squeeze lever, make sure the pads bite strongly. When pulling lever, push scooter, you’ll notice the sudden bite from the caliper
Clean oil and mess
Enjoy your refreshed brakes!
