I sorta thought the reason to flush brake fluid every two years was
to keep the absorbed water from rusting out the calipers, brake
lines, and wheel cylinders.  Guess the boiling point is of concern as
well.  The neighbors' vehicles that I have flushed the lines on can't
believe how nasty the fluid is when I finish.  Doesn't pay well, but
the baked goods sure are tasty!!!
