Rear Brake Cylinder

Featured Replies

Just in case anyone was curious on brake parts I used a rear cylinder from O'Reilly's to replace my pass. side rear wheel cylinder 2 weeks ago. So far it is working fine and it seems to be a quality piece. It was $45.00 plus tax. BrakeBest® - Wheel Cylinder

Part # WC96878. It came with the bleeder valve and the rubber boot. The only thing this the auto adjust lever needed to be tweaked to fully engage the wheel. PS do this BEFORE you install it! :stupid:

I think I paid ~$4.00 for a rebuild kit like 2 years ago. I bought three, left side installed, two spares on the shelf.

I was going to rebuild it but the PO had broken the bleeder off and I broke the "easy out" trying to get it out. Then I tried to drill that out and it is now a good paper weight!

Gotcha, these are old cars afterall, although I am impressed with how few fasteners I have broken working on mine.
