Default Cleaning steel brake pipes or tubes inside... how??

Hi All,

Years of standing still have taken their toll and I have to clean out all the steel brake pipes or tubes on my F15A. Some are clogged with gunk...

The brake fluid has become a very sticky substance and is more like a glue than a liquid. Metholated spirits (wood alcohol) is possibly a method to purge the pipes, but I am not keen on pouring it through a funnnel hour after hour to get an kind of good result .

Externally the pipes are in good condition as the Dubbo Air is very dry and it looks as though only one steel pipe will need replacement as it has pitted.

Does anyone have a method to clean the inside of brake pipes?????

Ian
