What is the function of a brake wheel cylinder?

The brake wheel cylinder is a crucial part of a drum brake system. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure forces pistons within the cylinder to extend outward, pushing the brake shoes against the rotating brake drum to slow the vehicle.

What vehicles does this DFC brake wheel cylinder fit?

This wheel cylinder is designed for a variety of classic vehicles. It fits Chevrolet Suburban and K10 Pickup models from 1961-1966, Jeep Gladiator and Wagoneer models from 1963-1966, and Hudson Jet models from 1953-1954, among others.

Do I need to replace anything else when installing a wheel cylinder?

When replacing a wheel cylinder, it's a good practice to inspect the brake shoes, drums, and brake lines for wear or damage. Often, replacing brake shoes at the same time is recommended for optimal performance.

Product Details

DFC is known for making reliable brake components, and this brake wheel cylinder is no exception. It's a key part of your vehicle's drum brake system, responsible for pushing the brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the pedal. This particular cylinder fits a wide range of classic American vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Suburban from 1961-1966, the Jeep Gladiator from 1963-1966, and even older Hudson models like the Jet from 1953-1954.
