IS your wife going on a vacation soon??? LOL I have "cleaned" oily brake disk in a electric self cleaning oven. I don't mean continuous cleaning ones. The ones that lock the door and get real hot. It will stink terrible.
In the mid 1980s, when money was real tight, I bought a Oliver 1650. The brake disk where good but oil soaked. I did not have the extra money to replace them. So I cleaned them up the best I could with gas. I then heated them some with a propane torch. That flashed the gas off. I was still getting oil out of the disk linings.

It worked. The brakes worked and did not fade out as the friction of stopping worked more oil out. The oil seemed to have been cooked out.
