John,
        Also to mention that the silicone fluid is lighter then DOT4, so I'm
thinking that DOT5 can't displace the DOT4 fluid in the lines. What I
would do is blow out the DOT4 with compressed air and then flush with
lacquer thinner from a squirt bottle and repeat with compressed air to
dry.
I really don't see the advantage of using silicone over Castrol's brake
fluid if one has the proper bleeding tools to collect the residue.
