Clean parts?

No need to take the calipers apart, unless you need to replace the seals. You might want to look under the boots and see what's hiding in there.

Then I'd just flush them out.

And fer gawd sakes, stop abusing them with brake cleaner. That stuff is meant for pads and rotors, and it will stain the shit out of aluminum if you aren't careful. Some Simple Green will get the calipers as clean as they'll ever need to be.

Wire brush (brass) the bolts, and give them a light coat of anti-seize. That will solve your corrosion problems.
