    They mention 'oil-soaked' linings but they don't say what to do with them.
    Throwing new parts at a problem is too widely accepted. Oil-soaked linings can be salvaged and re-used if done properly. Alcohol will initially break down the DOT-3 but not all of it will come out of the lining until heat is introduced. Some guys put their shoes in a hot oven. Others use a propane torch on the linings. Either way works. Brakes get extremely hot under normal use so heat will not damage them. As they heat, the fluid will ooze out and can be wiped clean. When all fluid is out, the lining color will be back to normal (gray) and the shoe will be totally dry and ready for service.

      If you would trust a salvaged brake lining in today's dumbass filled interstate traffic you're a braver man than I. And I drive a 36 year old $500 pickup 15k/miles yearly.

      @@TestECull You missed the point. Just because linings get brake fluid on them does not mean they are trash ESPECIALLY if they are new. I did not say the linings came from salvage, I said they CAN BE salvaged. If you want to buy new shoes every time a little oil gets on yours, go ahead.

    What is this Crocus Cloth they keep mentioning??
    Mind you I'm a Retired Auto Mechanic, started in 1979. I never used it.

      Similar to Emery cloth, but doesn't leave residue.
