Can you wash up and reuse the tq limiter disc after a rear main wash down. Got 100hrs on new one.Would like to re-use.Had to drop a gear to finish fall work to not slip it. Been a whole lot better to put that seal in when it was split & overhauled!!!...but it wasn't leaking!!!LOL

Ive washed them in clean solvent, air blow dry, then dried with a propane flame, you have to boil the embeded oil off the pads. good luck

If it's ceramic pads, the clutch guy said they can be cleaned. Organic material, he said it was hopeless as they soak it all the way though.

Thanks Skip.Begin to think I wasn't gonna get any takers. Washed up with siphon sprayer(GASOLINE!) then soaked a couple hours in gas bath,blow dry and simmer on top of shop stove a couple more.(couldn't handle it bare handed) I'll "treat" the pads tommorrow with the propane. Using 2 bellville's and was holding in 2nd Hi,low side when oilly so I'm betting it'll work cleaned up.
