Hi,
Anyone know what is the best way to clean the oil from disc brake rotor and pads?
I tried hot water, alcohol & burning it out going down hill and the only method that came close was braking full force going down a big hill, but this only worked for few moment.
try some wd40 or if that doesn't work a good squirt of washing up liquid.
I'd change the pads and put the disc in the dishwasher.
Isopropyl alcohol / disc brake cleaner for the rotors and new pads is the best way.
Heat the pads until they stop smoking.
Rotors can be cleaned with solvent or soapy water, or dishwasher, etc.
Take the disc off, douse it in lighter fluid and set fire to it, turning over and adding more fuel (use pliers!).
For the pads, I roasted mine over the big ring on the gas hob until they smoked. Then did it again to make sure (use pliers!).
Please don't use WD40!
+1 for IPA/disc brake cleaner on the rotors.
For the pads, heat them up in the oven, then scrub lightly with sandpaper and IPA. Then put them in the bin and buy some new ones.
Shimano brakes by any chance?
I have had success burning contaminated pads - but if you get them too hot it destroys the bonding to the back plate
