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...
