In my findings the consensus has been to replace ALL rubber seals. This is a decision best done after a complete brake job, including rubber seals. You can just flush the system and it may work for a

Not having the benefit of the list wisdom at the time I converted to silicone in 1989, I just flushed the system with a couple bottles of rubbing alcohol (mostly to remove any water present), and cha

Other than the paint thing (not an issue on my unrestored driver) are there any real advantages to using silicone brake fluid in a Healey? John Peak '59 BN7 davidwjones <davidwjones@cox.net> wrote: T

My experience was like Steve's I flushed and switched to silicone and did not change he seals, no problems in a couple of years since the work was done. Not saying you shouldn't take all necessary pr

In reply to an inquiry I will openly post an answer. This problem I describe with silicone brake fluid applies only to 100-4's, as far as I know. The problem I noticed was dragging of the wheels with

Could just be that by the time someone is concerned enough to swap to silicone, the seals and rubbers aren't the best and would have failed in a year no mater what liquid was in there. I've converted
