The brake fluid will cause the brakes to grab and cause uneven braking which in turn could cause you to go into an uncontrollable skid. The lining on the shoe is porous and absorbs the fluid like a sponge and as the shoes heat up, they leach out more fluid. I have heard it’s possible to heat the shoes up to bake out the fluid but if you heat them too much you can destroy or loosen the bond. In my opinion, it’s not worth the risk!
If you can’t buy new, I recommend having them relined.
