You would need to flush the system (I used brake clean) prior to converting to DOT 5.
My 2 cents.....

Haven't got the fronts off, yet. I'm a little nervous about trying to clean the shoes, but that is my last option. As soon as we are able to safely leave our houses, I am taking the shoes to Fleet Pride to see if they have a set, and the wheel seals to our local bearing house to see if they have a match. I have new rear wheel cylinders and new flex hoses, except for the one running from below the master cylinder to the frame mount.
I suspect I'll be able to find that one okay.
