How to remove the brake drum,brake shoes and Wheel Cylinder on Chevrolet Blazer,S10,GMC Jimmy and Sonoma?

To remove the brake drum and brake shoes, start by unscrewing the brake line fitting from the rear of the wheel cylinder using a flare-nut wrench to avoid rounding off the corners. Be careful not to pull the metal line out of the wheel cylinder. Next, remove the two bolts securing the wheel cylinder to the brake backing plate and then remove the wheel cylinder. To prevent the loss of brake fluid and the entry of dirt, plug the end of the brake line. For the overhaul process, disassemble the wheel cylinder by removing the rubber boot from each end, pushing out the pistons and cups, and removing the cup return spring and expander. Replace the rubber parts with new ones from the rebuild kit. Inspect the pistons for scoring and scuff marks and replace them if necessary. Check the cylinder bore for score marks and corrosion, and if present, consider honing or replacing the cylinder. Clean the cylinder with brake system cleaner or denatured alcohol and ensure the bleeder screw hole is clean. Lubricate the cylinder bore with clean brake fluid and insert the new rubber cups, making sure the lip faces in. Install the expander spring and remaining cup, attach the rubber boots to the pistons, and then install the pistons and boots. Finally, for installation, attach the brake line to the wheel cylinder before tightening the mounting bolts and line fitting. Use a flare-nut wrench if available. Bleed the brakes and thoroughly test their operation before driving the vehicle in traffic.

Chevrolet S10 Wheel Cylinder

Chevrolet S10 car users' experience Wheel Cylinder as an important part, which when subjected to hydraulic pressure, causes the brake shoes to expand and apply force on brake drum to slow down or make the car come to a stand still. This cylinder has a main housing containing the pistons and rubber sealing that just protrude outwards when brake pressure is exerted to the shoes pushing them against the drum. Others designs employ the use of dual single-piston cylinders to accomplish the above function. Earlier wheel cylinders incorporated cast iron while the current wheel cylinders are made of aluminum to avoid rusting. Periodically, wheel cylinders may develop leaks which as mentioned above affects the brake's performance; however, they are relatively inexpensive and can either be replaced or reconstructed when required. Since they help in braking system, there is need to have them checked often and to have them maintained or replaced as often as possible so as to reduce or eradicate possibly impacts that might occur while on the road.

Each OEM Chevrolet S10 Wheel Cylinder we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
