[TR] Flushing Brake System

[wbeech at flash.net]

Just blow it out and flush the DOT5 through, no biggie.  Be careful blowing
the old DOT3, don't let it get on any painted surfaces.

     What does one use to flush out the brake hydraulic system when
converting over to Dot 5? I think that they say "methylated spirits" or
something like that. What does that mean in American English? Does lacquer
thinner work or does that eat up the plastic parts? I may just blow it out
and then flush the Dot 5 through.
     TIA,
