What is the Brake Wheel Cylinder all about?

Brake wheel cylinders push the brake shoes against the brake drum, causing friction that slows down the car. They are located in the rear brake system, inside the brake drums. Over time, wheel cylinder seals may wear out and start leaking brake fluid, reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.

Keep in mind:

Brake wheel cylinders are replaced in pairs. Both rear tires will get new cylinders.

How it's done:

  • Inspect rear wheel cylinders for leakage.
  • Inspect rear brake shoes and hardware.
  • Replace wheel cylinders if found faulty.
  • Adjust rear brakes.
  • Lube backing plate.
  • Make sure axle seals are not leaking into brake drums.
  • Bleed entire brake system.
  • Perform a brake inspection, including test drive.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get the brake wheel cylinders inspected once every year. You should get your brake system inspected immediately if the brake warning light is on.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Brake Wheel Cylinder?

  • Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor.
  • Noise from rear brakes.
  • Fluid leaking underneath the car near rear tires.

How important is this service?

When you depress your brake pedal, the brake wheel cylinder applies pressure to the brake shoe. This pressure pushes the brake shoe into contact with the brake drum, which creates the friction that allows your vehicle to slow down and stop. When the brake wheel cylinder stops working, it is no longer able to exert enough force onto the brake shoe, and your vehicle will not be able to brake as effectively as it should.

Cadillac Eldorado V8-4.5L - Smoke from engine or exhaust - Duarte, California
I am very pleased, and impressed, with how quickly Galvani determined the problem with the 1989 Cadillac El Dorado. He took the time to explain what parts failed and alerted me to other mechanical issues. He showed me the malfunctioning parts. His professional experience, and knowledge of cars, put my mind to rest that the El Dorado can be repaired. I will be requesting that Galvani be the gentleman to repair the Cadillac.

Cadillac Eldorado V8-4.6L - Car is overheating - Fort Myers, Florida
I would just like to say Keith is a top-notch professional. My appointment was scheduled for 8:30a. Unfortunately it's been raining throughout the night and is continuing at this moment. I figured the appt would have to be cancelled or rescheduled. Keith called me and said he would be to my home at the appointed time. I called him back and we both agreed because of the inclement weather, it would be best to come later. When Keith showed up, my car wouldn't start. He tried repeatedly to get it started. Upon further inspection he realized I needed a starter. He quickly gave me a quote for the starter. He let me know before he can go any further with his inspection the starter needs to be put in. Keith was very detailed in his explanations. When time comes to fix the starter Keith will be the mechanic I call. Thanks Keith.
