The "tried and true" method for removing oily deposits from brake shoes involves - TADA - "FIRE". That's right, the most dangerous tool in our box.

  >>>>>WARNING!!<<<<
  This requires care, and keeping the kids and dogs away!

  Take the shoes and wash-n-soak them in a shallow pan of alcohol. Alcohol will not only help remove the unwanted oily substance, but is the "flambeau" part in this recipe. After swishing the shoes around a bit, take them out, set them on the concrete, and put a match to them. They will not burn hot enough or long enough to damage the linings, but the oily stuff should be gone by the time the alcohol finishes burning off.

  Hi all.

I had an incredibly stuck drum, and used "Liquid
Wrench" to help get it off. Some of the LW got onto
shoe linings.

I used "Brake Parts Cleaner" to clean the shoes.

Will the BPC effectivly clean the LW off the shoe
linings? Or does LW soak into lining rendering shoes
useless?
