Oil on brake pad

One of the oil line on the front oil cooler broke and oil found its way into the brake caliper.

Is it possible to save the brake pads? I had just installed Pagid Oranges' which are not precesily cheap.

Thanks for your help

I am sure that one can would do the trick, spray off the rotor etc. it will clean all oil off your brakes.

Water test it.

Throw it in the nearest body of deep water. If it floats, it's OK to re-use.

Bill, this means there is no way to save the pads. Maybe shaving them?!?!
