What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The brake wheel cylinder is part of your drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pistons inside the wheel cylinder outward. These pistons then push the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum, creating friction to slow or stop your vehicle.

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

It's a good idea to inspect your brake shoes, brake drum, and brake lines while you have the wheel cylinder out. If the brake shoes are worn, or if the drum is scored or out of spec, they should be replaced or serviced. Also, check brake lines for any signs of leaks or damage.

If you're working on the rear drum brakes for your 1967 or 1968 Buick Electra, LeSabre, or Riviera, this DFC brake wheel cylinder is what you need.
