The little filter basket in the top of = my '86 Vanagon's brake fluid reservoir
has quite a bit of brown gunk (not particulate, more like chemical) in it.  = Seems
like the basket should lift out, but it = doesn't seem to want to.
 
Does the basket come out, or should I = just "turkey baster" the stuff out?  Or just
leave the gunk in there for good = luck?  Thanks.
