Craig,

You need to neutralize the brake fluid in your servo (that's where the water
comes in).  If you don't, you'll end up replacing the servo due to rust.  It
will rot out from the inside.

Cheers,

Jeff

I sucked out all (almost) the brake fluid from the servo, but I didn't
rinse it out with water. The pedal is still a bit squidgey though so I
still have some more work to do.

Thanks again, I feel like I accomplished something and hopefully without
any consequences by not rinsing with water.  Craig
