[Healeys] Rear Wheel Brake Cylinder

[R. Lindsay]

Listers - 

The right rear cylinder on my 67 BJ8 has a small leak and I am going to replace it. When I removed it, I noticed several small whitish/clear “beads” on and around the unit. 

As I drained the fluid, I noticed, at the beginning, the fluid had rust in it. As it continued to flow, the liquid turned clear with the viscosity of water. Thereafter, it looked like clean fluid. 

1.  Does the fluid show any additional issues I should look into?
2.  What do the small beads represent?

I will flush the system before I refill the reservoir, bleed the brakes and get back on the road. 

Thank you in advance!!
