That’s what I thought too because I always clean my tools that have brake fluid with water.

  

Thanks!

Just a rince in hot water and let it dry is perfectly fine  Brake fluid is water soluable.

My apologies didn't realize that. How about flushing with the same type of brake fluid used in your car?

There is a warning to not use that.

Why not clean it with Brake Clean?

I have a pressure bleeder to bleed the brake and clutch. To clean it, the instructions say to use denatured alcohol (unobtainium in California) or a weak solution of simple green.

 

Because brake fluid is hydroscopic I was wondering if the bleeder parts can be washed out with water. Of course I would let it dry very thoroughly before using it again

 

What are the listers thoughts?
