Following the below instructions and using the below kit, successfully bled/burped the rear brake and it is working better than when I bought the bike. Took a couple of attempts as I was rushing and my hands were cold (forgot to cover the hole on the syringe when removing it first time and took a few seconds to realise I was dripping mineral oil all over the patio). Also, first time I didn't push the pads back (again, lazy/rushing/cold). But, success. Very satisfying seeing the bubbles come out under vacuum. Great visual representation of the issue being literally sucked out before your eyes.
Magura MT5, for reference.
