 ====== Inspection ======
   * Inspect the master cylinder and linkage for damage or leakage, failure to return fully when released, or sponginess when applying pressure.
+    * Any problem with the master cylinder requires rebuilding or replacement.
+  * Brake Fluid Leakage:
+    * Any fluid leakage in the brake system should be a signal for replacement of the particular component causing leakage.
+    * On an older systems, pay special attention to hoses, looking for cracked or cut surfaces which could develop leakage.
+  * Check the brake fluid for contamination and proper level.
+    * The fluid change level should be 1/8” from top (with reservoir level).
   * Perform a stationary test:
     * Squeeze the lever or depress the pedal as hard as possible to make sure the system will not leak or fail. \\ Make sure the system releases and the wheel turns freely.

-===== Cleaning The Master Cylinder =====
-  * For use with DOT 5 brake fluid: Always clean brake system rubber parts by washing in denatured alcohol or DOT 5 brake fluid. Do not use mineral base cleaning solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner. These cause deterioration of non-metallic parts which would continue to deteriorate after assembly, possibly resulting in component failure. ((HD Service Bulletin #M-785 dated June 10, 1980))
