Disc brake pads squealing/contaminated

[David5416]

I have seen something on a previous post but can't find it for the life of me. The said post recommended putting contaminated disc pads in a hot oven as this should ideally burn off the contamination.
Well having another set of contaminated pads for some reason, I duly put them in a hot oven for 20 minutes.... and bingo pads no longer squeal and are fine again. Maybe worth a try for others if they have the same problem.

If you get it wrong, the pad material will 'unbond' from the metal plate in a very hot oven. Occasionally I get squeaky disc brakes, I just wipe the rotors with Isopropyl alcohol and squirt some pad cleaner into the calliper which usually sorts it.

I'm sure it could easily go wrong but I thought give it ago and see what happens.

Last time I tried that the missus served them up with, mash, green beans, carrots & ceramic onion gravy...

I use a blow torch on mine with some isopropyl, works a treat.

Late to the show, but I want to add that I went over my contaminated pads with a kitchen blowtorch until they were smoking, and they are very good, no squeal at all.

The squeak on mine cannot get worse
Management is out tomorrow, so that's my project.

If that works then I'll bleed the brakes too
