Thanks to those of you who responded - brake system work seems to be a
popular thing to do!

I still have some questions regarding "flushing"  of the system.  Am I
correct in assuming that you would "substitute" alcohol for fluid and
use the master cylinder to push everything thru; then when it seems
clean enough blow air thru to remove the alcohol and replace the brake
fluid, again using the master cylinder to fill the system?  how much
should i be concerned about getting alcohol in my brake fluid and vice
versa? Will the alcohol "remove" all the fluid that i used to lubricate
the M/C when it is assembled?  Should I just have a beer and relax?

Thanks
