I've used brake clean with no problems. I am not advising that you use it I am just stating what worked well for me.

just wipe the disc off and let it dry, it will burn off.

u can use brake cleaner, but the oil will burn off, just go easy on it till it goes away.

i had that problem, the oil pan gasket was ------- too tight and blowing oil into the clutch area, and i forgot toput the bearing in on the flywheel and it ------ jacked the input shaft seal.

just clean the clutch off with brake cleaner, wipe it off, allow it to dry then take some sand paper like....180grit and sand it just a little bit to scuff it up.

either have the flywheel resurfaced or sand it a bit too and clean it off w/ brake cleaner

brake cleaner will work, that is what i was going to recommend you to use, just spray it down and set it straight up against a wall or something and let the sun hit it. good to go
