That was one of my thoughts, but I think I'm going to go ahead and rebuild
the calipers first: they probably need it anyway, as the rest of the
hydrolic system was fried. I would rather do that than mess around with the
m/c needlessly any day! :) Besides, the old m/c was useless: I'm not sure
that putting it back in would resolve anything, as it wasn't providing ANY
pressure to the front calipers.
Thanks for the advice,
J
