Default Wheel cylinder.....

Blew out the rear brake wheel cylinder on the way home from work. Can't get parts till tomorrow and we're expecting 2-4 inches of snow tonight. Uhg.....It not sits in the driveway with one tire off and brake assembly scattered amongst the gravel. Yaaaaaaa

It should be easy to fix. Stay warm!

Thanks Crazy.Well that's what I thought. Someone else had been in there and stripped one of the bolt heads on the wheel cylinder. I went out and bought a stripped bolt extractor tonight. I'm going to try and fix it tomorrow. It was 19 degrees today and 21 tomorrow.

A word of advice. Replace both wheel cylinders on the rear at the same time or the old one will blow. If the brake shoes got soaked in brake fluid, you should also replace those also.
