Hi, I bled my brakes the other day for the first time. I did take the pads out and gave the caliper a clean afterwards, but I think I may have got oil on the rear rotor and neglected to clean it. Symptoms are:

-Front brake works fine.
-Rear brake sqeuals, similar to how it does when wet, and although I can feel the pad contact the rotor and the lever feels firm, I have no stopping power.

Anyone with more experience willing to confirm that I have indeed contaminated my pads?

Yup

You might get away with cleaning the rotor and sanding the pads
