I need a front brake cylinder

Post by weasel451 »

I installed all four cylinders up front last summer and really didn't drive around much at all...my front leaf springs were shot. Anyway, one of the left side cylinders decided to purge brake fluid through the seal. The connections and lines aren't leaking. Anyone have a spare cylinder? Thanks.

If they're that new, it's possible that you could just clean it up and it will be fine. I've had that happen before. You could just remove the piston and clean it up as well as the inside of the cylinder. Clean the brake fluid off of the seals and put it back together. Give it a shot before you spend the bucks for another cylinder.
Beyond any hope for intervention

If you find that a seal is nicked I believe I have some spare that you could replace it with if needed.
