Default How to Replace your Wheel Cylinder

Hey guys,

So here is my latest video for the truck (and most cars that have drum brakes)...

What do you think?

Thanks, getting ready to this on Saturday. I was hoping there was a way to replace without removing all the brake stuff, but I guess not. I like your bloopers at the end of the video.

Haha there ya go. I couldnt get mine off easily without removing all the brake stuff so I just did it (didnt take long). I guess you can try and see if you can get the cylinder off without taking the brakes off first. Good luck!
