Wheel Cylinder Replacement
REMOVAL PROCEDURE1. Remove the linings.
2. Clean dirt and foreign material from the wheel cylinder and the brake fluid pipe.
3. Loosen the brake fluid pipe(s) (1) from the back of the wheel cylinder by loosening the flare nut(s) but only to the extent that brake fluid does not leak.
4. Remove the two wheel cylinder retaining bolts from the rear of the backing plate (2).
5. Disconnect the brake pipe(s) (1) from the wheel cylinder.
6. Remove the bleeder valve cap and install it on the end of the brake fluid pipe (2) to prevent leaks or contamination.
7. Remove the wheel cylinder from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the wheel cylinder gasket (2) to the wheel cylinder (1).
2. Remove the bleeder valve cap from the brake fluid pipe (1) and install on the bleeder valve.
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
3. Install the wheel cylinder to the backing plate (2). Secure with two retaining bolts.
^ Tighten the wheel cylinder retaining bolts to 12 Nm (106.2 inch lbs.).
4. Install the brake fluid pipe (1) to the back of the wheel cylinder. Secure with a flare nut.
^ Tighten the brake fluid pipe flare nut to 16 Nm (12 ft. lbs.).
5. Install the brake shoes.
6. Inspect the brake fluid pipe-to-wheel cylinder connection for brake fluid leaks.
7. Bleed the brake system.
