Try MEK (Methyl-Etheyl-Keytone). And no, the linings shouldn't be
significantly different thicknesses. After all, they have to fit between
the shoes and the drums, so that limits their thickness. However, if
your drums have been turned it's possible someone used thicker linings
in the past to make up the difference.

Bob,
Don't think gasoline is a good idea. Any petroleum product would still
leave some oil behind. Not to mention the safety issues with gasoline.
If you can find it, trichlorethylene is good at taking oil out of
everything - including skin. Used to be avilable as a brake cleaner.
Haven't checked lately, though. Probably depends on how strict the
environmental regs are in your area.

Charles Hill
