20190714_105039.jpg This is not only a result of the same neglect that caused the brakes & hub locks not to work - it's also a cause of some of the problems.  All that water in the fluid is rusting out not only the master cylinder (which is being replaced), but also the lines, and the wheel cylinders.  After emptying & tossing the MC, I pulled the wheel cylinders and flushed all the lines with brake cleaner to get everything out.  They'll be dry before any fluid goes back in.  That new bottle of DOT3 will stay sealed until then.
