case vac disc brakes

jmducks1 · Sep 12, 2009

My disc brakes on vac are oil saturated but are almost like new in thickness what can i do to clean or dry these out? Or is it not a good idea or they will never work like new ones? New liners are 60 a side, what would you do?

Ever heard of "Brake Clean"?

Let them rattle around in the bottom of your "oil dry" barrel for a couple of years. They should be dry by then.

I would sand blast the linnings getting a new surface on them will make them good. It works well on the band brakes too.

Heating them with a propane torch will help cook the oil out too.

I agree with Bob, spray them with Brake Clean, much easier.

Soaking the disks in clean mineral spirits will take the oil out of them. Ever notice how it takes the oil out of your skin?

Thanks for all the answers and funny ones too. I will probably clean them up and scuff them to get a new surface and it should stop good for many years right and also fix the seals.
