That basket is removable. Will take a little wiggling and pulling.

  Subject: Filter basket in brake fluid reservoir--cleaning?

  The little filter basket in the top of my '86 Vanagon's brake fluid
reservoir
  has quite a bit of brown gunk (not particulate, more like chemical) in it.
Seems
  like the basket should lift out, but it doesn't seem to want to.

  Does the basket come out, or should I just "turkey baster" the stuff out?
Or just
  leave the gunk in there for good luck?  Thanks.

  Steve
