Louise and Louise FR are high-pressure systems and come with a reinfor-
ced hose, the „MAGURA Disc Tube“ wearing also this imprint. The Disc Tube
needs an additional insert for a proper fitting. Never mix and match the parts
from the different MAGURA disc brake models! Any misuse might cause serious
accidents!
Never touch either the rotor or the brake caliper after long braking as
this may cause serious burns.
1.
Remove the wheel so that you have free access to the brake caliper.
Push both pistons
with brake pads mounted
back by putting the transport device or
a flat blade screwdriver into the gap. Move the screwdriver
slowly
back and forth until
both caliper pistons are fully retracted and flush with caliper body.
Never push back the pistons without the brake pads mounted! Open the
brake system only after having pushed back fully the brake pads.
2.
Loosen the brake lever clamping screw with a 5mm allen key. Turn the brake
lever and ensure that
the reservoir is horizontal
.
3.
Slide the hose protection. Unscrew the sleeve nut on the brake lever with an
8mm open-end wrench and pull the hose out
carefully. Hold the hose carefully to
avoid any loss of oil! Do not squeeze the lever blade with the system open!
4.
Put the hose on a workbench and shorten it with a sharp knife. The best tool
is the MAGURA cutter (code 0321 233).
Do not use saws or pliers!
If your frame is not equipped for routing hydraulic lines you should now mount
the hose fitting kit for your rear brake according to the instructions that are included
in the kit.
6. Shorten the hose
