Hydraulic systems last longer if they are used than if they just set.
Water is the enemy. It is absorbed by normal hydraulic fluids and
attack the metals from inside. Most references I've seen recommend
draining the hydraulic fluid every 18 months and flushed with alcohol
before pouring fresh fluid in. You should be using a low moisture
absorbing (LMA) brake fluid. Changing the fluid is the secret to going
a long time between rebuilds on a vehicle you are using.
You can rebuild them over and over again unless you get oxidation pits
that you can not polish out. When they wear out, get them sleeved so
they will not pit and they should last forever.
