preventive measures:

unless absolutely necessary.

system is disconnected, the entire brake
system must be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled, and bled after
reassembly.

components.
Use only clean or new brake fluid for
cleaning brake components.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
Avoid brake fluid coming into contact
with the eyes as it can cause serious
injury.
