"flush the lines out with methanol"

IMO this might introduce a problem, so that the risk is greater than any
benefit.  Methanol has a fairly low boiling point [148 deg F] and might
degrade the seals.  Why not just flush with brake fluid?  It is more
expensive, but otherwise would avoid any issues.
