  1. ok so you see how the cross-over cable is mounted in the
    back position on the left but in the front position on
    the right?

    this makes the cable diagnal,it works fine this way (the way
    it came) but i think it would look better if it came
    straight over the tyre like most Maggie brakes ive seen.

    my question is,can i just unscrew it and put it in the
    other hole or is oil going to spill out?it seems like if i
    just make sure not to squeeze the lever it would be easy
    but ive never worked on these things before and dont have a
    bleed kit.

  2. I have removed and replaced a fitting without bleeding and
    still had the brake work fine and I have also done the same
    and had air get in the line, so it's a gamble. I have made a
    brake bleeding kit out of two pieces of the plastic brake
    line and a couple of small plastic squeze bottles and I was
    told by a bike mechanic that you can use mineral oil for
    brake fluid and it has worked fine, but I am wondering if
    there is any advantage to useing the magura brake fluid?
