Since I had to replace all the wheel cylinders and
master cylinder anyway on my M38A1 (because some
dimwit screwed it up before I could rescue it), I
disconnected everything and flushed with denatured
alcohol and compressed air, allowing plenty of time to
dry (I believe denatured alcohol has less water in it,
IIRC), and it worked just fine. I also replaced the
flex lines in the front as they were looking a little
cracked.
