Magura MT5 bore tool

Posted on
  • Any one got or know somewhere I could get the above bore removal tool? 8 pronged version.

  • Yes it's a bit nuts. A magura rep told me today no such tool exists but how else can you service the caliper? I'm sure if I put some thought into it I could get the bore side pistons out with the airgun but shouldn't really have to.

  • Long shot but wouldn't a hope tool fit? Blowing the pistons out it's possible but annoying and time consuming, and then there's fitting them back.

  • I think the hope tool would fit. Alternatively I can modify a Shimano hollowtech preload tool. Just annoying. Speaking to Magura tomorrow.

  • This is the weirdest thing . you cant find the caps or piston replacements and the company that did sell the tools at one time told me they were not available and when I asked if they could point me in the right direction, they stated . "We don't carry them and cannot help you any further."

  • A new caliper is probably what you want. That kind of tooling is going to be service centre / bike shop only.

  • Well that would be silly considering I took it apart to have it powder coated . My helper broke a piston getting it out if he would have had the tool it wouldn't have happened . Maybe the hope one will work . I found some caps at a bike shop in Australia. They are for a custom electric scooter . I'm just saying these Things are like 500 for a set and you can find everything for hope and absolutely zero for Magura . There is so little info out there it's strange . I was more just commenting on that than anything

  • Might be a liability thing - Magura don't want you doing this in case it's not done correctly and the brakes fail, would be my guess anyway - given that you got a very "we received legal action" response from the company you contacted which used to make the tools.
