If you have the lines off the vehicle, take a wire and run thru to the other
end. Then attach a pipe cleaner to a loop bent in the wire . Drop the pipe
cleaner in a small container of hyd fluid. Pull the wire and if possible use a
push pull action to clean the pipe. Forget about special cleaners. and you also
don't have to worry about removing those forgien fluid remenants from the pipe..
Actually even if you have the lines still installed this should work.

cheers and happy cleaning.
