What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The brake wheel cylinder is part of your drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, it uses hydraulic pressure to push the brake shoes outward, pressing them against the inside of the brake drum to slow your vehicle.

Do I need to buy anything else to install this wheel cylinder?

Typically, when replacing a wheel cylinder, it's a good idea to inspect your brake shoes, springs, and brake drums. You may also need new brake fluid to bleed the system after installation. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of recommended items.
