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.
You could see the grease oozing out and burning in little bubbles. This
treatment would be given two or three times and the
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
can stand that heat without damage I don?t know.
Of course YMMV,
