				I never have had any luck cleaning shoes with oil in them and getting a 
 satisfactory result. If you haven't already make sure that the shoe your 
 having problems with is actually being forced against the drum properly.

 I think I mentioned the other day to use a can of brake parts cleaner in an
 aerosol can..   If that doesn't work...  take to some who does steam
 cleaning and blast it with live steam..     I had an aluminum gas tank that
 developed a leak...   I wanted  to get it welded  instead of just pouring in
 the slosher sealer..    The welder would not weld on a fuel tank until it
 had been to a steam cleaner..     I took an old gas water heater and
 converted it so I could put  a propane burner in it..    Put about 5 gal of
 water in it and ran 2 old washer machine hoses  from the top of the heater
 without any restrictions into the fuel tank...   then let it run for about
 an hour..   couldn't smell any thing  in the tank and welded it without
 incidence..
 
 For something like a brake shoe..   Maybe a dry cleaner company that uses
 steam to get out stains...
