What do I do if I get chain lube on my brake pads? I was being extremely stupid and accidentally applied a little chain lube to my brake pads? I tried to sand them down a little and cleaned the disc rotor with rubbing alcohol, but the performance is still lower than normal. Is there anything I can do to save them?
I've seen recipes for decontaminating brake pads floated around but the easiest and safest thing to do is simply replace them.
