The difficult bit with these if fully filling the lever reservoir. It's easy to leave a pocket of air that then finds its way in to the lines when on the trail. Make sure you follow Magura's instructions on how to position the leaver on the bars for bleeding. If you can remove the brake from the bike and run the hose in a straight vertical line it's easier.

Well I have purchased a Total Bleed Solutions kit and will have a crack at doing this myself.
Is there such a thing as a bicycle vacuum bleeder? It seems that the problem with my rear Magura is that no-one can get all the air out, so a vacuum bleed might make sense.
