Last weekend, while I was changing back to street tires, I decided to paint
my right side brake drum. I had painted the left side several weeks before
and done such a good job, it was time for a matching set. Low and behold, a
brake drum full of Redline Shockproof Heavy! And all over my Nismo Green
Stuff shoes! Now, this is not such a surprise, I knew at 70,000 miles it was
about time for the seals to go. I even had purchased a complete seal and
bearing set from CDM a couple of weeks before.
In a few more weeks, I'll be tearing into a complete rear rebuild. I have a
set of comp springs and a 4.38 LSD unit on the way, so, of all times for
this to happen, it could not of picked a better time. But, Those shoes are
brand new! I wasn't planning on replacing them.
Is there anything I could try to recover these contaminated shoes? Any
trick? I was thinking to soak them in Berrymans. Mayhap this powerful,
banned by the air board solvent, would pull the gear oil out of the brake
media. Any thoughts?
