2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission wheel cylinders!

[David411]

Hello I am currently attempting to swap out my rear wheel cylinders.

However they are not coming out!

All the springs are undone, brake line undone, and two mounting bolts but it wont pull out. .

Any hints to this, I thought it would simple but so far it remains stuck.

Thanks

Are you saying that the wheel cylinder is stuck to the backing plate to which it's mounted ? If so, cause your not going to use them again, get a two pound hammer, some WD40, spray where they go thru the plate and start beating them up and down, back and forth. They are rusted in place. I replaced mine and they needed a beating to remove.

Exactly what I am doing.

What supposed to be a couple hour job, took six hours.
