    Give it a wipe and forget about it.

    Wash off with water...
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    More importantly how'd the brake fluid get on the tyre? Hope you haven't got a leak at the caliper or something because taking a wheel off doesn't usually cause a fluid leak.
    Cheers

    Well spotted!

    Yes, exactly how did you get brake fluid on the wheel when simply removing it?

    the disk is a little worn so undid the bleed screw to make it easier to spread the pads apart to get them off the disk[probly didnt need to i know]and fluid leaked from hose i had on the outlet so no leak in the caliper cheers anyway
