[6pack] DOT 5 leads to hydraulic component failures

[Bud R]

I didn't flush the system when I switched to DOT 5 more than 10 years  
ago. Simply ran DOT 5 through the system until DOT 5 came out the  
bleeders. No problems and no paint removed in the last decade or so  
and many miles put on the car including autocrosses.
