*sigh* 140-160

Yeah. I cleaned up the valve that I took off the 140 today, and I was blowing compressed air through it along with some carb/brake cleaner. Is that ok? I took off the cylinder end, and cleaned up the spring and the retainers, and the little piston that pops out and pushes on the spring. Can I take the big bolt thing off to clean inside there(other than just spraying the cleaner in there and then blowing through it)?

I'll probably just get some new rear brake lines(they're cheap), and clean up the current 142 ones, just so I can move the car around, and then when I get a house, I'll drive the 145 over there and then I'll start swapping parts between the two. They're both at different locations now, so, yeah.

Thanks for the words guys.
