I had a set of old brake linings on a fork lift that would have been mucho
$$$ to replace. The guy at the rebuild store told me an old timers trick.
Soak the pads in Diesel fluid, then put them on the ground (outside) and
set them on fire. The fire will burn off the oil and diesel and should
not harm the pads.
NOTE, I WOULD NOT TRY THIS WITH A CAR I DRIVE. I only did it on a
fork-lift that gets very little use and no high speeds. But he did tell
me that they used to do this for cars all the time.

Subject: Oil on brake linings
Is there a reliable way to remove oil from brake shoe linings or do I have
to replace them?
