       I do the blowtorch method, its very effective!  Trick is not to
       go too mad or too localised and just warm the shoe up in a well
       ventilated area, you'll soon see it drying out as the oil
       bubbles out and smokes off.  Take specal care on bonded friction
       material too, rivited is not such a problem (remember they are
       designed to get pritty hot in use
       Given the price of mintex brake shoes (I don't buy the cheeper
       ones, they aren't worth it) I don't try too hard to restore the
       footbrakes if they get badly contaminated but I always do it to
       the handbrake, thats partly because S1 handbrake shoes are
       rivited and last time I changed them they were only avalable on
       exchange - unless you fuckup the ajustment or drive with it on
       they should never ware out anyway (and you can't drive off with
       them on if they are working properly, the engine will stall)
