I'm not a chemist (even though I play one on TV), but isn't brake cleaner
some sort of trichlor-type solvent? I'd be afraid that it would attack the
elastomers in the system. I think that a better flushing solvent would be
something like laboratory-grade isopropyl alcohol. Never having done this
sort of thing, I'm arguing in a vacuum.
