25 year old Mercedes. At the hydraulic pump I sucked out the brake fluid and removed the reservoir to clean it, then refilled with fresh fluid. Is there a way to flush the lines and cylinders as well to get all the old fluid out? Or just lower and raise the top a few times and change the fluid again?

I don't think you can get all the fluid out of those lines easily unless you took everything apart. Was the pic of the fluid after you changed it or before? I would just suck out all the old fluid and put new fluid.

I know you are super anal about your service. I'm sure 80% of the owners of Merc convertibles never do this.
