What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is part of your drum brake system. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder pushes pistons inside the wheel cylinder. These pistons force the brake shoes outward, pressing them against the brake drum to slow your vehicle.

What vehicles does this DFC brake wheel cylinder fit?

This wheel cylinder is designed for a range of American Motors vehicles, including the American, Classic, Gremlin, Hornet, Javelin, and Rebel, as well as the Jeep DJ5 model. It covers model years from 1964 up to 1983.

Should I replace anything else when changing a wheel cylinder?

It's a good practice to inspect your brake shoes and brake drum for wear or damage when replacing a wheel cylinder. If the old cylinder was leaking brake fluid, it's also wise to check the brake lines for any signs of corrosion or damage.

Product Details

This DFC brake wheel cylinder is made from cast iron, a strong material that holds up well in the harsh environment of a wheel brake assembly. It's a direct replacement part designed to ensure your brake shoes push out evenly against the drum when you press the pedal. This is crucial for consistent stopping power and even brake pad wear. This cylinder fits a range of vehicles, including American Motors Gremlin, Hornet, and Jeep DJ5 models.

When you replace a wheel cylinder, it's a good idea to inspect the brake shoes and drum for wear. If the cylinder is leaking brake fluid, it means the seals have failed, and it's time for a refresh. This part is designed to fit right into the existing brake system, making replacement straightforward for a mechanic.
