Wheel cylinder question

I bought new 4x4 wheel cylinders from LMC and the front cylinders have a hole the same size as the rear one for the brake hose. The front brake hoses on the truck are bigger than the hole and I was wondering if they fronts are supposed to be bigger or not. It has drum brakes.

Talking Re: Wheel cylinder question

It looks like there were different size openings available for the front wheel cylinders on the early K-10's. If you read the foot note on the bottom of page 146 in the LMC catalog, there is an explanation of the different sizes.

I would suggest checking the thread size on your flex hose and then contact LMC to exchange your wheel cylinders for the thread size needed.
