Wheel cylinders and brake fluid
A drum brake wheel cylinder converts hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into force on the brake shoes. Inside, a piston and seals move with each pedal press. When the seals wear, fluid can leak past them onto the shoe linings, which reduces braking and can contaminate the drum surface. Leaks at the boot or along the bleeder are often the first visible sign.
Wheel cylinders are commonly replaced in pairs on older axles, and the brake shoes, springs and drum are inspected in the same job. Old fluid can carry moisture and corrosion, so flush the system when a cylinder is changed. Bleed the brakes in the correct order and test the pedal before driving.
- Check the boots for cracks or leaks
- Inspect the shoes for fluid contamination
- Replace brake fluid during the repair
