Got the brakes on my '42 H off. Got the seals out and new ones back in. everything is cleaned up ready to go except for the brake bands. I have rinsed them twice with brake clean, and they are still oozing gear oil.
Lots of life left in them, just oil soaked. I was thinking of putting them in a 5 gallon bucket and soaking them for a week or two. Here is the question: gasoline? acetone? paint thinner?

Looks like they would be used to take up "slop" in the brake band, and keep it from rubbing on the cover. Not sure though.
