What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is part of your car's drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid pushes pistons inside the cylinder outward. These pistons then force the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum, slowing the vehicle.

Why should I replace both rear wheel cylinders at the same time?

Brake components work in pairs. Replacing both rear wheel cylinders at once helps ensure that braking force is applied evenly to both sides of the rear axle. This leads to more consistent and reliable stopping performance.

Product Details

When you're working on the rear drum brakes of your classic BMW, like a 1600 or 2002 model, the wheel cylinder is a critical part. It's what pushes your brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the pedal, creating the friction needed to slow down. If yours is leaking or seized, you won't have reliable stopping power.

This wheel cylinder from DFC is built to fit a range of BMW 02 series cars from the late 60s to the mid-70s. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to install right where the original one came out. Having a well-built wheel cylinder is key to getting a firm brake pedal and ensuring your rear brakes work as they should.

Make sure to check your specific vehicle's fitment details to confirm this part is the right match for your BMW. Replacing wheel cylinders is often done in pairs to ensure even braking performance on both sides of the axle.
