Re: Removing wheel cylinders-HELP

Yep, that bolt/pin where the brake pads ride on at the top...thats the culprit. I believe its 1 1/16 or 1 1/8...and a deep socket if you can get one. I made it work without a deep socket but it was a pain. The pin part goes into where you put your ratchet. You can take your springs loose, slide the pads to the side, and then remove the bolt/pin. Your wheel cylinder should come right out then. Loosen your brake hose before you get to that point or you won't have enough leverage to break it loose. Then you can twist the cylinder to get the hose off.
