can a bad wheel cylinder cause the brake to lock in place resulting in an irritating squeel. my rear passenger side wheel brakes are lock in place and the car still move but omg the sound is driving me crazy.
This is a great video, I did everything according to this video on my vehicle replacing the brake wheel cylinder, my car works fine, so whoever posted this video thanks a million, no doubt saved me a lot of money in car repiars.
The video is usful to a point but leaves out the fact the primary shoe has shorter lining material and belongs to the front of the car or truck. Another thing is when you install the new wheel cyl do not tighten the bolts until you have the brake line nut started in the threads, leaving the cyl loose allows you a good amount of wiggle room to get the line nut started with your fingers, trying to install the line with the bolts tight can cause cross threading and leaks.
Thanks for this video. I was debating whether to get the shop to do this for $700 or just buy the tools and do it myself. I'm a little concerned about all the springs and getting it all back together but I'm going to try!
I removed my drum brakes just to see how it works and I messed up my wheel cylinder. Started leaking all over the place. Now I have to replace it. The part is $40.00 and about an hour of work which is $80.00 just for my stupidity I should have never played around with it.
You make it look easy.

is this any easier to do if the parking brake assembly was removed b/c of a frozen line?

if you don't have the tools mentioned in the vid just check out either the local pawn shops or swap meet/flea market, most will have them cheap

actually, the shoes are the same size on leading/trailing brakes. the secondary shoe is only larger on duo-servo drums

Y do I have to bleed all the wheels when I only replaced the RR wheel cylinder?

Its to make sure no air is in any of the lines. Would only take 10mins to bleed the front brakes long as you don't strip the bleed screw.
