brake cleaner IS pretty harsh, and too much exposure COULD dry out the rubber boots and cause them to crack, but since you're replacing all the rubber parts, no problem
Check the piston for any signs of scoring, and the bore for any smooth, shiny areas. You want a nice 'cross hatching' on the bore, if it's smooth and shiny, the brake fluid gets wiped away. Brake fluid also acts as a lubricant.
Sorry if this is stuff you already know,
lower case bryan, checking in after an absence, hey, both 9000's have been running great :)
