I've finally got both rear oil seals changed.  First one took well over a
week - mostly gathering the right tools and information.  The other side
only took an hour and a half!  One last set of questions before I put
everything back together.  There is a reddish, nearly rust-colored,
substance inside the brake cylinders.  Is this some kind of lubricant?  Or
is this just residue that needs to be cleaned off?  Is any kind of lubricant
required?  Thanks.

No longer clueless in LA
