Posted July 24, 201212 yr comment_396679 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: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/43903-rear-brake-cylinder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 24, 201212 yr comment_396681 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.

July 24, 201212 yr Author comment_396686 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!

July 24, 201212 yr comment_396692 Gotcha, these are old cars afterall, although I am impressed with how few fasteners I have broken working on mine. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/43903-rear-brake-cylinder/#findComment-396692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
