Honda Accord Brake Wheel Cylinders

The wheel cylinder is an important part of the drum brake system. It is usually located at the top of the wheel, on the backing plate, and contains pistons, cup seals and expander spring inside the bore. The wheel cylinder forces the brake shoes and brings them into contact with the brake drums. That makes the vehicle stop due to friction. This part contains a cylinder, which has two pistons, one on every side. Combined with the brake shoe, each piston contains a shaft and a rubber seal.

Wheel cylinders were previously made of cast iron, but because this material is subject to rust, the preference has been recently given to aluminum. Wheel cylinders need to be inspected, replaced or rebuilt in case they show signs of leaking. If you want to drive safely, there is the need to replace the wheel cylinders each time you replace the brake shoes.
