Yes thanks guys - I remember very well the discussions we've all had over the years about brake fluid attracting and absorbing water. Especially anyone who has participated in track events. Brake science, technology, and maintenance is always included as a high priority topic.
On the subject of brake fluid, it's funny reading my Clymer manual when they refer to brake fluid as clutch fluid in their "clutch" section. To make matters worse, towards the end is a footnote informing their readers that when they specify hydraulic fluid....they are referring to brake fluid.
They really should just call it brake fluid all the way through, IMHO.
Today was a productive day as I was able to finish the rebuild on both master and slave.
Tomorrow I re-install.
Of note, I replaced the old sight glass which had tuned opaque, replaced the 2 top screws, replaced the internals, lubed everything up, and also replaced the old bleeder valve with a speed bleeder.
For such a relatively easy job - this turned into more than I thought it would. Heck, just the work involved with the circlip alone merits it's own chapter of struggle....lol....

After:
New top screws!
Lucas Girling Limited red rubber grease!
