Stuart,
Take the reservoir off the MC (four screws) and wipe most of the oil out with
a paper towel. I used a degreaser (simple green) and a tooth brush to clean
the reervoir and then rinsed with hot soapy water. Dry it, shake it, blow air
on until it's dry AND let it sit for a few days so that ALL water is
evaporated. You do not want to leave a molecule of water or it will appear in
your brake lines.

I have just purchased a new brake MC from Roadster Factory. There is a lot
of
heavy red oil in the resevoir. What is the best way of cleaning this out
before installation? Should I use varsol, methyl hydrate, alcohol or ???? I
am currently using DOT 5 silicone fluid in the hydraulic systems. Is the red
oil compatible with silicone fluid?
Any thoughts appreciated
