Many years ago when my friends and I were penniless engineering =
apprentices interested only in motor bikes and girls
we frequently found ourselves with oil or grease sodden brake shoes. We =
would soak them in petrol and paraffin and then light it.=20
You could see the grease oozing out and burning in little bubbles. This =
treatment would be given two or three times and the=20
brake linings cleaned and roughed up with a file (no worries about =
asbestos in those days) then reassembled.
ISTR this worked very well. Of course in those days linings were made =
made mainly of asbestos. Whether modern products=20
can stand that heat without damage I don=E2=80=99t know.

Of course YMMV,
