One exception to the NO SOLVENT rule, IMO, is if you’re replacing everything but the hard lines, which I am. I’m going to spray the snot out of the steel lines, once everything is off, with BrakeKleen. My entire system, except the steel lines, is being replaced (calipers, cylinders, master, rubber hoses), so I’m not worried about anything being contaminated, given BrakeKleen evaporates.
Depends on which BrakeKleen you're using. I have the MSDS stored on my computer. One is almost pure acetone. The other contains compounds that may not evaporate as quickly.
Personally, I'd use pure acetone or MEK for what you're doing, followed by absolutely dry, filtered compressed air. (The triple filtered air I use for powder coating.)
