Watson© Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Right Lads/Gals I got brake fluid on my EBC Red's ( Basically brand new ) for my Mono Mini and it soaked all the way thro... is there any way I can get the fluid out so that my pads are normal again... and nobody say file the pads because all that will do is take of the top layer and not remove the fluid from the whole pad..... Help >_< B) Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 BURN THEM ! ! ! AAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAA But on a more serious note, you can actually burn them, hold them over your mummy's hob or something, make sure you open a window though as it smell's ! hehe...... If you find the pads are still contaminated then just burn them some more. And yes, this does actually work >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 How long ( roughly ) do I burn them for??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Burn em with a blowtorch for like 5 minutes. That should do the trick B) . Or a deodrant can and a lighter >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Only a few minute's, that should do the trick. But if you put them back on and they are still a bit crap then just do it for a little longer. Just make sure your holding them with some pliar's or something, i wouldn't want you to burn your finger's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Sticking them in the oven might work. Otherwise just burn the f**k out of em >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montybiketrial Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Go steady though, burn em too much and they fall apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Go steady though, burn em too much and they fall apart. ← true.. i got wd40 on my mini once. Steeped the pads in vinegar (got told by a mate) then sanded off the top layer. Let it bed in with some nice MUCK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Buy new ones. Any other way is a bodge, and I wouldnt want to compromise anything to do with brakes. Thats all there is to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Buy new ones. Thats all there is to it. ← Correct. You'll never get them back to normal if theyve soaked all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Ok thanks for the helps guys... I'll try burning them B) But if that don't work to well, I'll resort to buying new ones (Y) >_< Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
