Brake Pads' Question

[Brazil_boy]

Hi, I was riding this morning then my brake cable ****ed up and I got oil all over my brake pads. Well I have fixed the cable, but my Pads are not working as well as it was. I tried to clean it with Neutro soup, but it just didn't work.
Please anyone could help me telling how should I clean it?

Thanks, Andre.

Its usually a new set of pads as they absorb the oil, but you can some times get a way with putting a blow torch on them and burning the oil out

Get new pads. If you live near a Supergo they have deals on Koolstop pads at 15 bucks a pair.

Here's things you can do;

Soak them in rubbing alcohol
Bake them on broil in the oven
Take a blowtorch to them
Douse them with Honda brake-cleaner (good stuff and my favorite, although it's good to sand the pads a little after using this to re-bed them in)

There's probably a few other methods, but when the contamination is bad enough, sometimes you just have to get new pads and there is no way around that.

Remember to clean the rotor as well.

Thanks JM.
I baked them, and it's working great again. :)
