Aircraft brake systems generally don't use glycol ether brake fluid, so the caution against the use of petroleum-based cleaners does not apply.

Sorry I wasn't specific enough - there are situations, much like when cleaning a W123 / W126 brake caliper where you may not take the component completely apart (so in the case of a W123 / W126 caliper if you do not separate the two halves of the assembly). In those situations because you know there is a rubber seal in there somewhere you should not be cleaning with acetone or trichloroethane.
