bike brake kit problem

[llamaman]

i ordered a brake kit from webcyclery to bleed my hs33's a while back and now i need to use it but it would seem i didn't get the right fitting. The fittings i got are the slave cylinder and another that didn't fit in the master cylinder it was too small. so now i cant bleed it without that fitting anyone else have this problem or know where i can find the fitting to go into the master cylinder for bleeding? I want to get back to riding since the snow melted today but i can't.

You could still go one way and just dribble the end you don't have. You really just need the entry point.

Both ends is cool if you really want to flush the system without loosing oil, but it isn't necessary. I'm talking two srynges here.

It should have come with 3 fittings, the small one is for the magura disc brakes, and the other two are for the HS33s. Email webcyclery or call them to see if you didn't get all the fittings you were supposed to with the kit.

If it's pre-2005 HS-33s you have, and the syringe fits for bleeding up from the slave, just use a clear plastic straw at the master end, it lets the air bubble out but maintains fluid pressure.

The problematic fitting is probably because the master cylinder bleed hole size changed with the 2005-model Maguras.

I use the same fittings to bleed my pre- and post-2005 HS33s...

Does this pose a problem when dealing with Dengura brakes? What fitting do they use?

I had the same exact problem when I got my bleed kit... so I filled the kitchen sick up with water, used the syringe and fitting that actually fit and bleed my brake under water. It worked pretty well...

All the connections are the same thread pitch/diameter as the slave end of the Magura brakes. The magura bleed kit works just fine.

Which is good, because I have to bleed them frequently :momaru:
