Need wheel cylinders?
Well, I've got a leak! On the inside of the right rear tire, there's a really slow(teaspoon per week) brake fluid leak. I have not had a chance to take the wheel off yet, but I supect it's the wheel cylinder. So, I'm going to change both rear wheel cylinders...can anybody recommend which ones I should get, and any other tips while doing the change?
Thanks all, 71400lb My truck is a 1971 Cheyenne 3/4 Ton Long Bed SBC 400(406)/400 Turbo 3.73:1 Open Rear 215/85/16 tires w/8 lugs discs front/drums back |

In the past I've just bought the rebuild kits and done them myself. It's quite a bit cheaper.

If I remember right it is only like 10 bucks a peice for a whole new wheel cylinder from Napa, and the rebuild kits are like 5 or 6 dollars so there isn't much difference. But either way it is pretty cheap.

Don't forget to buy new brake shoes. Once they get fluid on them they are crap. and for a tip....carefull putting them damned springs back on...I've had a couple fly off and it's hard to find them in a messy garage
