Wheel cylinder rebuild

Wheel cylinder refurbishment restores the wheel cylinder to proper working order. The cylinder is a crucial part of the braking system. A fault in this system negatively impacts braking performance. Therefore, it's important to replace wheel cylinders promptly.

The wheel cylinder transmits brake force to the brake shoes. This action pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum, creating resistance and slowing the car. It's crucial for this component to function correctly. Below, we explain how to identify a faulty wheel cylinder and how to refurbish it yourself.

When to Refurbish a Wheel Cylinder

A faulty wheel cylinder negatively affects braking performance. We recommend checking your wheel cylinders annually. Is your brake warning light on? Have your brakes inspected immediately. Problems with the braking system can lead to dangerous situations.

If your wheel cylinder is faulty, it's wise to purchase a wheel cylinder refurbishment kit and recondition the cylinder. You can identify a faulty cylinder by the following symptoms:

The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor
You hear a noise from the rear brakes when braking
Brake fluid is leaking from under the rear of the car

Refurbishing a Wheel Cylinder

If you have some technical knowledge or experience working on cars, you can refurbish the wheel cylinder yourself. For this job, you'll need a car jack and axle stands because you'll need to remove the wheels. Inspect the wheel cylinders for defects and replace any damaged or rusted parts with the wheel cylinder refurbishment kit. Then, reinstall the cylinder and the wheel. Finally, check if the symptoms have been resolved.

We recommend checking both wheel cylinders for defects and wear, as they wear evenly. Checking both saves you potential trouble later on and prevents you from having to replace the other cylinder after a short period.
