Look at the size of that bucket

Re: All metal beast
Check what it is before messing then, it should have warning stickers etc on the bottle.
I only know from (limited) experience with mountain bike brakes & (too much messing with) Land Rover brakes & clutch. The stuff in Land Rovers will take the paint off pretty much anything & isn't good if you get it on your hands (pulls all the moisture out).

Re: All metal beast
Hi Ian
Hydraulic is like brake fluid it's a Damm good paint stripper. LoL. But seriously the oil is very hydroscopic and absorbs moisture like no one's business so keep the bottle sealed when not being used.
I use Areoshell 4 and also 41 quite a lot in the systems I work and train with. So As Rob say's personell hygiene and protectionis very good advice.
Otherwise you lucky so of Gun what a beautiful bit of kit
