When I worked at a Deere dealer, we used a torch to clean up oil-soaked linings, regardless if it was an engine clutch, dry wheel or track steering brakes, winch drum brakes, etc. When you just clean with solvents, much of the residue stays soaked in the band out of sight. Then, the first time you use it hard - and it gets hot - oil keeps coming out of it. John Deere brake bands winches were a good test since they are just barely adequate when new and dry. We fixed many oil-soaked bands by holding a torch on them and cooking the oil out of the lining. If it's a glued/bonded band - don't get it so hot that you melt the glue. I also know of a few machine shops that bakes them in an oven. But- a hand-held torch works fine. If your lining isn't fireproof - then it's not worth anything anyway.
