I'll be replacing my rear brake cylinders within the next month. Anything that I should worry about? Never done this before. Any help/suggestions would be amazing!
Cheers!

Rear Wheel Brake Cylinders
- Thread starter rtaylor6753
- Start date
The drums have a couple of (M8?) threaded holes between the wheel studs. If the drums don't come off easily, run a couple of bolts into those threaded holes and the bolts will push the drums off.
Work on one side at a time so you can use the other side as a reference for how the springs are arranged.
If you're re-using your old shoes and drums, you shouldn't need to adjust the handbrake linkage or cables. If you're changing those parts, follow the workshop manual. An out of adjustment handbrake can mess up your braking.

Shoes and drums are okay. I believe I have a leak at the cylinders.
