Turn counter clockwise the bleeder screw and the brake line fitting next turn the two wheel cylinder bolts but do not disconnect the brake line.

Where the cylinder bore appears to be lightly corroded or there are score marks then the marks should be rubbed out with crocus cloth; if the marks cannot be removed or if the bore is scored then the cylinder should be replaced. Paint the new cups with brake fluid and fit the component parts of the wheel cylinder so that the cups' lips are inwards. For installation, just place the wheel cylinder in its proper location and also tighten the bolts to the standard Torque.

Chevrolet Tracker Wheel Cylinder

In Hydraulic Drum Brake System of Chevrolet Tracker vehicles, the Wheel Cylinder is as important as brake shoes as it applies pressure on the brake shoes and constrains it against the brake drum for proper braking action. Essentially it applies hydraulic pressure, which extends pistons situated inside the cylinder to push the shoes against the drum. It commonly has a central cylinder, two piston with rubber like seals and an expander spring, while modern ones are mostly made from aluminum alloy to prevent rust while the earlier ones were cast iron. Chevrolet Tracker Wheel Cylinders may sometimes wear out after some time because moisture in the brake fluid causes some level of corrosion thus decreasing the braking force. The most critical area that needs constant check-up is when fitting brake shoes because, new linings tend to force pistons deeper to the bore thus leading to leaks. Though, it is possible to rebuild these Wheel Cylinders, replacement is suggested when they are badly worn out for achieving the optimal braking in Chevrolet Tracker vehicles.

Each OEM Chevrolet Tracker 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.
