[Mgs] Differential/Rear Hub oil on brake pads

[riverside]

If they are pads, definately replace them.  Best to replace shoes also, but 
I have had  success removing the oils  if needed. First wash throughly with 
solvent to remove as much oil as possible, followed by soap and water wash. 
Mount the shoe in a vise and using a butane torch (soft flame) wave the 
flame over the brake lining. When you  see the oil start to bubble out, wipe 
with a clean cloth and repeat,repeat,repeat. Do NOT overheat the brake 
lining or it will be ruined. Move the flame quickly. When no more oil 
bubbles out you are done.
