Is it possible to get brake fluid out of pads or is it a matter of buying new
It's well worked in mind, so it's not just a wire brush job
I wondered if a good long soak in detergant would brake it down..... but I bet
it's not oil based is it :confused:
Any ideas

I thought as much Dougie
But you know how it is... if I'd have bought new ones straight off
someone would only tell me how to get the old ones clean using 10p worth of a household product :rolleyes:
:D

You should always replace brake pads if they are contaminated with brake fluid.

i've just sold the last of the slim line clamps
