i have been told many things to do if you get oil on you pads they where
1. put a flame to it
2. put alcohol on it
3. get new pads there is nothing you can do

IPA help?


hmm i found using degreaser of some type let it dry then put them in the oven for an hour (make sure you don't want to use the oven for a while) is good


but with all the effort of fixing them you may aswell go buy your self some cool stop cinterd ones

Iso Propane Alcohol, not beer.

Same thing happened to me!

If you get oil or grease on the pads then you're best off just replacing them. The compound of the brake pad works like a sponge and will absorb any oil. If it was just an overspray of lube or WD40 then you can try burning it off and then sanding the surface of the pad lightly. However, it didn't work for me, neither did braking over and over again to wear the pad down and 'work' the oil out.

New pads in now and its perfect again - and i've learnt a valuable lesson - WD40 goes nowhere near my 'hopper!

New pads mate! i got brake fluid on mine and i even tried soaking them in clutch cleaner for an hour! brake and clutch cleaner was my best purchase tho, cleans the caliper up nicely and only takes a second! WD-40 over spray is a killer...

Who said gears for queers? i wanna find them...
