What does a wheel cylinder do on a car?

The wheel cylinder is a hydraulic drum brake component that uses brake fluid to pressurize and extend pistons that force the brake shoes against the brake drum when the brake pedal is depressed. Over time, wheel cylinders can develop brake fluid leaks or corrode.

Why are rear wheel cylinder cylinders going bigger?

installing larger bore wheel cylinders for rear wheels will cause rear brakes to apply more force and make pedal stroke a little longer. I think the typical adjustable “proportioning ” valves can only limit the max pressure. Often used on the rear wheels to prevent rear wheel locking, as that can make hard stops kind of squirrely.

What to do after replacing a wheel cylinder?

Which is the correct thread for M10 x 1?

The most common threads are: 3/8 x 24NF, 7/16 x 24NS, and M10 x 1 The most commonly confused sizes are 3/8” with 10 mm, and 7/16” with 11 mm. The 3/8” x 24NF will screw into M10 x 1 thread but not the other way around, so always try to screw M10 x 1 into 3/8” x 24NF to see if you have a match.
