Aaron,
If you have seperated the halves of the caliper, it is a simple job to
"rod" them out, like cleaning a rifle barrel. A small piece of wire, and
wadding soaked in alcohol worked well for me. Just use "wadding" that
doesn't shred, or blow out with compressed air afterwards.
All the fluid paths were drilled into the castings, so there are straight
"paths" at the junction of the "halves", and also through the bleed port.

Good luck, and HTH
