The disc is reusable if I can be sure that I have removed all the hydrocarbon from the part. Is there a way to clean it up and be assured that the disc will not slip? If I can't do that, I guess I have to accept a $300 mistake and go on!
Hi Ernie,

Not really,.......I've seen slightly oiled discs in the past and tried everything to remove the oil from the linings. Organic linings cannot be adequately degreased to prevent slippage; only metallic ones can be cleaned.
