Richard,
Let's discuss that a little... In order to drain the entire system,
correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that I would have to take
EVERYTHING apart -- all cylinders, (master, slave, and wheel) and open all
lines, etc. Big job. Am I correct? Or, would it be adequate to just open
all bleed valves and pump the old fluid out with the brake pedal? And then
flush it once or twice with silicone before putting all new silicone fluid
in?
