Most likely. The biggest problem is removing the brake fluid after it
removes the paint. If you expect to repaint the part, you might do better
using a paint remover. Try aircraft paint remover, available at most auto
supply stores. Paint removers are volatile, so they evaporate completely.
It is a bad thing for brake fluid to evaporate.
