brake rebuild

im rebuilding the brakes on my old honda cd250, the inside of the master cylinder is really dirty, the level window you cant see through.

what should i clean it with, im bout to replace all the seals in it, so i guess the dont matter about harsh chemicals?.

Methyl Hydrate. That's in a lot of shop manuals on "cleaning brake parts before rebuilts".
