Love can fix everything, not in this case... in this case you need a little propane flame thrower
No , i'm not kidding...

my brake pads got a bit of oil (mineral oil) and i found a little trick to fix them.

Maybe is not the same process to fix every pads but in my case seems working as well.
I removed the pads and i left them on the floor , my idea was to remove the oil without using any chemical reaction (i need to find a way to do it too).
so i figured "let's try to vaporize the oil"? those pads seems in very badly condition (can't brake with the regular power and they also made a frustating noise)...
So here what i come up with... a propane torch!

Set them under the fire for some minutes , let them to come back to the normal temperature and after a bit of cleaning i mounted again on my mtb.
Well seems this way works!
Sadly the results was not grat with the front pads , in the other case they totally remains as before.

What you guys think?
do you have some personal way to fix them?


Sorry for my bad eng.
(My pads and brake are Shimano deore M446.)

I remove mine, get them wet in the sink, place a drop of dish soap on the friction material of one pad, rub the two pads together to clean off the contaminates, rinse with water and only handle with a lint free towel, reinstall on the bike. This has worked for my noisy pads many times. If the pads have mineral oil or brake fluid on them, you should also thoroughly clean your rotors witch are likely also contaminated or your brakes make still make noise.
