Front wheel
cy
linders
A leaking wheel cylinder can cause excessive
pedal movement, and this
will
normally
be
attributed
t
~
a worn rubber seal.
If
excessive
pedal
res
istance is experienced, when all other
components are functioning correctl
y,
this
would
indicate a seized wheel cylinder. The
wheel cylinders are not serviceable and
if
the
faults described above
are
apparent a new
cylinder
will
have to
be
fitted.
To
remove
(see
Figur
e 4)
1 Remove the brake shoes,
as
previously
described.
2 Disconnect hydraulic fluid pipe and bridge
pipe connecting the
two
wheel cylinders, and
plug
to
prevent loss
of
fluid
and ingress of dirt.
3 Remove the bleed screw.
4 Remove
two
screws and lockwashers from
the inboard side
of
the back plate, and
with
dr
aw
the wheel
cy
linder and sealing ring. Repeat
this operation
for
the other cylinder,
if
necessary.
5 Replace in
re
verse order, fitting a n
ew
rubber
sealing ring.
