[AT] de-greasing disc brakes

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

OK, my shop equipment list officially includes the cheapest toaster oven 
Walmart had. I baked 3 of the 4 discs yesterday. I use fresh speedi-dri 
every time. The first 2 I baked for 2 hours, the third and eventually the 
fourth will get 3 hours--they appear to have seen a little more grease in 
time.

Cheap toaster oven kitty litter (cheap unscented), foil tin large enough
to hold discs, and some brake cleaner. Spray them down with the cleaner,
let them dry a bit. A layer of litter, a disc, layer of litter repeat.
Toss the mess into the toaster oven (OUTSIDE IN THE OPEN AIR !!!) Set
the oven for 400-450 degrees. Let them cook for an hour or so. The heat
will boil the oil out of the material and the litter absorbs anything
that doesn't cook off.
