Terry,
I would suggest replacing all rubber components in the hydraulic system,
though others may disagree. That would include:
1. Rebuilding the front calipers
2. Rebuilding the master cylinder(s)
3. Rebuilding or replacing the rear wheel cylinders
The total cost for the rubber rebuild parts is less than $25 and the whole
thing can be done on a Saturday afternoon.
Take care,

Okay. I capitulate and I'm doubling back on my
previous statements. If Silicone is good enough for
Tiny Tim, it's good enough for my car.
Now, when you say "not neccessary to rebuild all of
the components", exactly what items need to be removed
for thorough cleaning and what can be left on the car
and "flushed" with the denatured alcohol? (Or does
your definition of easy include the total dismanteling
of the brake hydraulics).
I've already installed the braided stainless brake
lines.
