I do have little bits of crud in my system, but I suspect it is from the master cylinder which looks very old. I have a new one to put in, and I have new rubber hoses too, I was just contemplating if I should have to change the hard lines too. I was hoping to leave the calipers and wheel cylinders alone for now. The brake pads look like new, and I have no leaks.
I think what I will do is buy a bunch of brake fluid and after I put in the new master cylinder and hoses I will bleed the system at the hoses and if it looks ok, then I will connect the hoses and bleed everything again at the bleeder valves. If nothing else, all this bleeding should clean out the system pretty good.
