[Shop-talk] Silicone brake fluid

[Robert Nogueirao]

I’m helping a friend rebuild her brake system. All new lines and hoses. I’ve rebuilt the calipers, brake cylinders and master cylinder and they are ready to install.
Here’s the problem:
In rebuilding the cylinders I coated the bores lightly with red brake grease and DOT 3 
Fluid.  Now she tells me she may want to go with Silicone fluid.  Does that mean I need to disassemble and wash out all the cylinders and calipers?
Thanks for any answers.
