What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is part of your rear drum brake system. When brake fluid is pushed into it, the cylinder forces the brake shoes outward against the brake drum, which slows down your vehicle.

Why would I need to replace my brake wheel cylinder?

Wheel cylinders can wear out over time or develop leaks. Signs of a failing wheel cylinder include a spongy brake pedal, reduced braking performance, or brake fluid leaks around the rear wheels.

Does this wheel cylinder come with brake shoes or hardware?

This part is the brake wheel cylinder only. Brake shoes, springs, and other hardware are typically sold separately.

Product Details

This DFC brake wheel cylinder is made from cast iron, a solid material choice for this critical brake component. It's designed to fit your 1965-1971 Opel Kadett or 1968-1973 Opel GT, acting as a direct replacement for the original part.

When you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder pushes fluid into the wheel cylinders. This cylinder then forces the brake shoes outward against the drum, slowing your vehicle. Over time, these can wear out or leak, leading to poor braking performance or a spongy pedal. Replacing it with a well-built unit like this DFC cylinder helps ensure your rear brakes work as they should.

This part is a straightforward replacement for the original. Make sure to check your manufacturer's instructions for any specific installation details or fluid requirements.
