Is there a way to remove the float in the resivoir? I would like to be able to drain and wipe clean a small amount of residue of the walls of the resivoir. When I had the brakes flushed,they were not able to suction off more than 1/2 the resivoir before starting the flush do to the float being in the way

We use a vacuum system and a tiny metal tube to suck the RESERVOIR dry then refill and force it out the hardline [Loosen] attachments so it doesn't get the ABS system dirty.

Remove, disassemble, clean, and rebuild or just replace with new if perfection is desired.

Qtech, thanks for your reply. I was hoping there was a way to turkeybaste out the resivoir, lift out the float and wipe the resivoir walls with a cloth, then simply refill with new fluid......guess not?
