Disc brake service kit

Don’t panic if the hose snaps! With the disc brake service kit and a separately available
spare hose (see spare parts pages 20/21), this can be repaired easily.

Louise is a high-pressure systems and comes with a reinforced hose, the 

„MAGURA Disc Tube“ wearing also this imprint. The Disc Tube needs an additional
insert for a proper fitting. Never mix and match either the hoses or parts from other
manufacturers. Any misuse might cause serious accidents!

1.

Remove the damaged hose from both the brake lever and the caliper. 

2

. Prepare a new hose: Use only the reinforced MAGURA Disc Tube (wearing also this

imprint). One end of this hose comes 

with a pressed fitting with blue loctite threadlock

,

which has to be screwed into the Heat Eater as described above. 
The  hose  is available with 0° and 90° fittings (c.f. page 20)

Tightening torque: 6 Nm/ 51 in.lbs.

Use with all Louise models with adjustable Heat Eater hose fitting only the hose

that comes with the fitting with blue loctite threadlock (arrow!).

NEVER shorten the MAGURA Disc Tube hose at the end with the pressed 

fitting! You could no longer use this hose then.

3. 

Tighten the prepared end of the new hose onto the Heat Eater.

Tightening torque: 6 Nm/ 51 in.lbs.

4.

Install the hose as described in chapter 6.

After the installation of a new hose you will always have to refill the brake. The

following chapter 9 describes how the filling and bleeding has to be done.

8. Repairs
