You know  what they say about the third time.

My question concerns the silicon  brake fluid.  Can you just pump all the old 
fluid out of the system,  and then replace it with the new, or does all the 
rubber need to be  replaced also.  The previous owner just had the brakes 
system rebuilt  about 6,000 miles ago, but that may equate to 10+ years.

Actually, Russ - "They" say the third time is the charm. But it looks like  
you already used up your charm! I go with Harry Yarnell- (The Poobah). Although 
 I have run siliconE fluid in a number of cars, that was really for cars that 
 were not to be driven much. It also usually involved a complete renewal of 
the  whole system. But as of late, I don't know any racers who will use it in a 
car  THEY have to drive (humor). Of course, racers may change fluid, or bleed 
it,  more often than the normal driver. - although, after looking at some of 
the cars  I have seen at track events, I am not so sure of that! Supposedly, 
there is a  new DOT4 fluid that retains most of the good attributes of the 
DOT3. take a look  at: _http://www.shotimes.com/SHO3brakefluid.html_
