    Cleaning brake lines?

    Hi all! My m38 brakes were getting horrible so I decided to check out the brake cylinders. All four were full of dark brown crap, like thick mud... what the heck?? Three wouldn't work at all and on the last only one side provided any stopping effort. Yes, I barely had any brakes. Anyway I'm putting on all new cylinders as the old ones were too rusty inside to even hone out.

    Question: What about the brake lines themselves? Might they also have a bunch of that mud in them? Is there a way to clean brakes lines from the master cylinder all the way out to the brakes? Again, what is that thick mud like junk from?

    Looking forward to hearing if you folks have seen the same!
