[AT] de-greasing disc brakes

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

You really think they get that hot on a combine? A car/truck I can see that, 
just thinking on a combine probably only 150-200 deg (just guessing). My 
thinking is anything real hot could start a fire with all the chaff. I may 
just have to look into getting a cheap toaster oven. I could probably do all 
4 at once.  My only problem is finding the time to get by wally-world to 
pick one up.

Trust me they get hotter in use than you'll ever get them in the oven...
