Apparently one of my axle seals is leaking. When I jacked up one side of the truck oil ran out of the other and got all over my drums and brakes shoes. I forgot to clean it up before I moved the truck. Are the brake shoes completely ruined? They are brand new. Dang
Thanks.

Yep, they're trashed. No matter how you try to clean them, once the brake gets a little warm, more oil will seep out of the linings and contaminate things again. I've soaked linings in various solvents, heated them, sanded them, etc. and nothing has ever worked. Bite the bullet and replace them.
