Hi All,

I know brake flushing has been written on extensively, but not not so much with using alcohol to clean the system.
I'm about to do a pretty comprehensive brake system overhaul. Replacing a troubled master cylinder, flushing fluid, new hoses, etc. and I'm wondering if it would be wise, since I'm going to all this trouble, to actually CLEAN the system first. Of course I don't know if the system is dirty and gunked up, but I assume it hasn't ever been truly cleaned.

Could this lead to bigger problems? Trouble getting the alcohol out of the lines and perhaps it could mix and dilute the fluid? Thoughts and EXPERIENCE would be so appreciated.

Cheers
