The wheel cylinder is a critical component in your vehicle's braking system. This is the component that converts hydraulic pressure from the brake master cylinder into mechanical force to apply the brakes. Over time, the seals wear out and water in the brake fluid cause rust, leading to reduced brake performance or even complete failure.

Jefferson guides you through the process of rebuilding a wheel cylinder step by step. You'll learn about the tools and materials required, as well as tips and tricks to ensure a successful rebuild.

We go through the entire process from disassembly, inspection of each component for signs of damage or wear, including the piston, seals, and springs, then we look at the rebuild kit. This cylinder required some extra steps, as it was incredibly rusted.

Then Jefferson shows you the actual rebuild process, showing you tips and tricks along the way.

The grease used on the cups is optional, and must be DOT hydraulic brake grease if used.
