Also, there was quite a bit of what can only be described as black paste in the bottom of the caliper bore under the pistons. Even though i am putting new brake lines on, would it be worth flushing the whole system first to make sure that any crap is pushed out? There was a little bit in the resevoir too.
Cheers

If you have new lines, clean inside calipers, then yeah you can let some fresh fluid drip through master if you want, probably not much in it.
Clean crap out of seal grooves, this is what makes tham drag
