Default Gasket removal / Fitting

Hi,

I've been attempting to fix a water pump leak on my SV so removed the inner clutch cover.
After ruining the chocolate water pump bolts - drilling them out - re-threading the hole - still knackered - hole's getting bigger - nope it's beyond repair - £178 for a new one (still in ) - I need to replace the gasket. I scraped off the old gasket with a knife with some difficulty. I then used wet/dry to carefully remove the remnants.

Assuming it's a nice clean and flat surface, can I just plonk the new gasket on then bolt the cover back on? Do I need some sealant or anything?

Plus, is it normal to get brake fluid bl**dy everywhere when you're bleeding brakes?

Many thanks,

JG

Not just me then? I stripped and cleaned the front calipers at the weekend for the first time and had an 'Oh THAT's how it works...' moment when the cylinders came free and it emptied brake fluid all over me and the front wheel. Damn.

Isn't brake fluid incredibly toxic?

Mine was when it wee-d out of the bleed nipple when I was learning how to use the bleed kit. Brakes seem fine/good now after a good clean, HEL lines etc. I'll find out properly when I get that water pump.

Probably but I wasn't drinking it! More concerned about the corrosion it causes. I attempt to clean it up afterwards hoping that it hadn't reached my brake pans.

Apparently so, but OK if you're well ventilated, and don't drink any

It doesn't go that well with pairs of jeans either.
