Cleaning brake reservoir
I thought I would pop the reservoir off my master cylinder and put it in the dishwasher. Is that a good idea or will it ruin anything?

Should be fine - obviously don't put the cap in as well as I would imagine the wet and heat will probably destroy the electrics in the
top.....Will be interesting to see:
a- the results
b- how you get it past SWMBO
c- the look on her face when she finds out! - especially if it goes wrong!

Not sure what SWMBO stands for, but I think I can guess who you mean. Was planning this little job for when she's not around. Save me some
grief

Baking on Hammerite engine mounts in the oven gets me 'the look'

I removed reservoir, rinsed with methylated, wiped with clean rag, rinsed, and let dry.. Worked for me. I would be cautious about putting anything
with breakfluid near food as it's nasty stuff, at the least I would run the dishwasher afterwards a few times before using it again...
