I noticed brake fluid leaking out of my rear brake drum. When I removed the drum, I found the rear brake cylinder (the hydrolic part that expands the brake pads) leaking brake fluid.
I also found brake fluid throughout the entire brake drum, pads, everything inside.
Can I clean the drum and pads with brake cleaner and continue to use them once the the cylinder is replaced? Or are the brake pads dead?
The brake pads have plenty left on them. I would hate to see them wasted.
