What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The brake wheel cylinder is a key component in drum brake systems. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid pressure is sent to the wheel cylinder, forcing its pistons outward. These pistons then push the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum, creating friction to slow or stop the vehicle.

What vehicles does this DFC brake wheel cylinder fit?

This wheel cylinder is designed to fit a range of International trucks manufactured between 1956 and 1960. This includes models such as the International AM120, B100, S110, and SM132, among others.

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

It's often recommended to inspect and potentially replace brake shoes, springs, and seals when servicing wheel cylinders, as these parts work together. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific recommendations and proper installation procedures.

Product Details

This DFC brake wheel cylinder features a cast iron housing, a material known for its durability and ability to withstand the pressures of your braking system. It's designed to replace the original wheel cylinder on a range of International trucks from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, including models like the International AM120 and the International B120. This part is crucial for your rear drum brakes, as it uses hydraulic pressure to push the brake shoes outward against the drums, slowing your vehicle.

When you're working on the rear brakes of your classic International, a properly functioning wheel cylinder is key to getting consistent stopping power. This DFC unit is built to meet the original specifications, ensuring it fits right and operates as expected. Having a reliable wheel cylinder means your brake pedal will feel firm and responsive, giving you the confidence you need on the road.

If you're rebuilding the drum brakes on your International truck, this wheel cylinder is a solid option. It's a direct replacement part, meaning no modifications are needed for installation. Just be sure to refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedures and any other components you might need to service at the same time, like brake shoes and hardware kits.
