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.

This review is about the customer service at YourMechanic which is absolutely TERRIBLE (not Melvin). If the owners and investors in this business new Alex was offering such poor customer service, their heads would be spinning. I don't even know where to start. 1) The Groupon price was not matching up with the price on their website. It was still charging me $43. I called them, no one picked up. No one EVER picks up. They have to call you back. So Alex calls me and reduces the price by $20 - and says the remaining extra $23 is because my car uses extra oil. I never pay extra for this at other shops, but I end up paying 50% more for the extra oil here. Whatever, I guess I can live with that. 2) The mechanic calls me at 2pm and says he is waiting on an oil truck or something. My appointment is at 3pm. I don't hear from him. I call him at 4pm, no answer, I leave a voicemail. I call him again 20 minutes later, he picks up. Says he might be able to come out by 6pm. I call YourMechanic, of course, no answer. Alex calls me back and says this is out of his control. The mechanic finally shows up at 5:52pm. Nearly 3 hours alter. My whole day was wasted scheduling and waiting around. 3) I now find out that the tire rotation can't be done because he doesn't have the proper equipment. Alex calls me back. I coordinate giving my phone to the mechanic so he can explain what happened to Alex. For all of this pain and suffering, Alex offered me... Wait for it... A $5 discount! I paid $23 extra for the oil. I didn't get the tire rotation (worth $20). And the mechanic showed up 3 hours late. This is a terrible service with the worst customer support (YES, YOU ALEX) - Do Not Use Them!
