How do you remove the Wheel Cylinder on Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon?

To remove the wheel cylinder, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands, while also blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling. Then, remove the brake shoe assembly and clean any dirt or foreign material from around the wheel cylinder. Next, disconnect the brake line using a flare-nut wrench, being careful not to pull it away from the wheel cylinder. After that, remove the wheel cylinder mounting bolts and detach the cylinder from the brake backing plate. Remember to immediately plug the brake line to prevent fluid loss and contamination. For installation, place the wheel cylinder in position and install the bolts fingertight. Connect the brake line to the cylinder, ensuring not to cross-thread the fitting. Tighten the wheel cylinder bolts to the specified torque. Then, tighten the brake line fitting and proceed to install the brake shoes and drum. Afterward, bleed the brakes, install the wheel and lug nuts, and lower the vehicle to the ground. Finally, tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque and thoroughly check the operation of the brakes before driving the vehicle.

GMC Canyon Wheel Cylinder

The Wheel Cylinder in GMC Canyon vehicles is an important component which applies force on the brake shoes to enable them to push on the brake drum in order to stop the vehicle or reduce the speed. This hydraulic system also contains pistons, seals, and springs that make the extending and retracting mechanisms contribute to the correct function of a brake. The walls of the cylinder are vulnerable to the attacks of the moisture residing in the brake fluid and this causes leakage and low hydraulic pressure. One has to do frequent checks or even take his/her car for servicing to avoid cases like grabbing, brake drag, or even lack of adequate braking force. When someone undergoes a process to change brake shoes, he or she should also change the wheel cylinders for the optimal performance of the car and safety on the roads.

Each OEM GMC Canyon 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.
