What is a Wheel Cylinder?
Wheel cylinders are found on all drum brake assemblies. They convert hydraulic pressure into mechanical pressure at the wheels. They only operate when the master cylinder activates them through hydraulic pressure. Wheel cylinders consist of a casting with a cylindrical bore, one or two pistons, cups, a spring and dust boots.
