| you can bleed the brake like that but its a bit of a shortcut and the brake will feel crap you will need: -bleed kit (syringe, tube, connecter for screwing into caliper) -mineral oil (preferibly magura blood) -allen keys -think magura resevoirs use a small torx bit, so that too lean bike up against wall, position brake lever so resevoir is sitting horizontal, fill up syringe with magura blood/any other suitable fluid, make sure there's no air bubbles in tube or syringe unscrew grub screw from disc caliper and srew in tubing using attatchment on bleed kit, only needs to be hand tight, now unscrew the resevoir top cap from the brake lever, you might want to put an old basin under the brake lever at this point pump the fluid through the syringe, you should see fluid overflowing from the resevoir at this point, keep doing this until the fluid overflowing looks like the new stuff and until theres no air bubbles coming out now replace the resevoir top cap and then remove the syringe and tighten the grub screw back into the caliper
i just copied and pasted so if its incorect corect me
