Exposure to the alcohol did not seem to do anything other than clean the old piston seal up so I decided to go ahead with the process. I power blead the system with alcohol and then blew it out with clean dry compressed air,left all bleeder screws open for a while and then filled the system with dot5 fluid. The alcohol did remove a lot of dirt from the system. Everything seems OK. Thanks for your help.
