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.

Saturn SC1 L4-1.9L - Car is not starting - Atlanta, Georgia
Robert Bell was extremely professional, quickly diagnosed, isolated & resolved the fault within the hour! Robert reassured me that my fuel pump pressure, all voltages and mechanics were within spec. Through fault management, Robert identified a intermittent / faulty TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) recently installed which "triggered" the "no start" on this vehicle & resolved w/o new parts. I would highly recommend Mr. Robert Bell and we are extremely thankful that yourmechanic.com exists - saved us additional / unnecessary costs! Thank you again to all the staff of Yourmechanic.com and your certified & knowledgeable mechanic, Mr. Robert Bell!!

Saturn SC1 L4-1.9L - Power Steering Fluid Service - Kennesaw, Georgia
Michael was great. Prompt, friendly, up front. He kept me in the loop about what he was doing the whole time and got it done as quickly as possible. The difference in my car's performance was night and day, and I really appreciated his post-maintenance explanation of what I could do if anything went wrong again.

Saturn SC1 L4-1.9L - Alternator - Antioch, California
Gary was outstanding!! I took my car to a well known service company and having them diagnose my auto problem, I was unhappy with their price quote. I called YourMechanic and made an appointment with Gary. When Gary arrived he very quickly diagnosed the problem which was quite different from the service company's diagnosis. I had to return some parts and per Gary got the correct parts and Gary repaired my car and also advised me to replace some other parts as preventitive maintenance. All in all Gary saved me a lot of money and did an excellent job.
