There are some "brake clean" products available that will do a reasonable
job of removing
oil and grease from brake pads and shoes, but the material itself is quite
porous and the
oil etc soaks in where the cleaners only really remove the surface
contaminates. Best bet
long term is to remove the pads and replace them IMHO.

Subject: Europa-List: Brake pads
The brakes on my trigears main wheels have got lees bite over time. I
wonder whether it may be caused by brake fluid spilled on the pads and discs
when venting the brake lines.
I have not inspected the pads yet, but this will be done soon.
Has anyone experienced the same? What is good method to restore the pads
friction surface cleaning with a solvent (which?), light sanding or both?
Regards,
Svein
