This is a request that I was happy to be able to fill. I've been looking for a wheel cylinder job for over 2 years and this Toyota finally provided me the opportunity. As you can see it's not a bad job at all to do provided that things come apart as they did in this video. If they don't come apart like that then follow the recommendations in the video of how to deal with those situations. Don't worry about bending the brake line it's a lot better than twisting and possibly breaking the brake line, once you do that there's no going back. Also make sure to use a line wrench when breaking the brake line loose, if not you could round it off and that would also not be good. Thanks for watching, I hope the video helps you should you have to replace a wheel cylinder on your vehicle.

Eric, your old videos are so good for us guys that are relative newbies to car repair. Your new videos are more advanced and that is good too, but I love your old videos from 6 to 8 years back. So amazing. Like taking shop class at high school, but better.

@PProgress28 10 лет назад

Hey bro I want to thank you for this video. Saved me a lot at a time my family didn't have it and needed our car fixed. Thanks again.

@RowboTony 5 лет назад

Thanks for the info! Especially all of the tips throughout. Knowing that this can be accomplished without removing the shoes - super helpful when it's February in Chicago, every minute saved counts! The dealer wanted $400 to replace the cylinder and flush all of the lines, I was able to do it in my garage for $14 in less than 2 hours. Thanks for all you do!

@gculkin89 10 лет назад

AS an old video producer, I have to compliment you on an excellent instructional video. Well designed, well scripted, and well shot. Very professional delivery. You are good Eric. Thanks for all the great tips.

@chrlmlln9018 10 месяцев назад

A very big and warm THANK to you, Eric, for this excellent helpful tutorial on how to replace a damaged wheel cylinder! I really needed all your wise tips and advice to make the change of the wheel cylinder faultless! Wishing you all the best always! Best regards from Sweden! 💯👍💝

@jbeargrr 7 лет назад

It's been years since I've done this, but about to again in the very near future. Just watched as a refresher, and so glad I did. Nice tips on dealing with a stuck brake line, and about using a line wrench.

@DOLRED 11 лет назад

I dont know how anyone could do a better instruction video. Eric is a 5 star presenter.

@PaulsMechanics 11 лет назад

Hey Eric just a quick tip pull both the drum cases off and pull the hand brake on that will give you so much room you'll just pull the cylinder straight out of there I know some people hate this idea but it's fine there is nothing wrong with it and in my countless years of experience iv never had or seen a problem with it and I teach this method to all of my apprentices

@tysy73 9 лет назад

Very clear instructions. Thanks for your help. This video enabled me to tackle this job myself and saved me $80.00.

@dem1177 9 лет назад

thanks for the idea eric! ive done mine in less than an hour... it really save me some time not removing the brake shoe... if my mate who will helped me bleed the fluid could have come earlier, i could have finished earlier! thanks for sharing!

@soldiersvejk2053 4 года назад

HI Eric, thank you very much for the pro tip! When I tried to replace the wheel cylinder today, I noticed that the brake line screw was very rusted, and the brake like seems to be turning a little bit even with a flare wrench, which of course I only bought because of this video too. So I stopped at once, and then unscrewed the wheel cylinder counterclockwise until it came off. Then when I installed the new one, I also spin the wheel cylinder clockwise on. Luckily it seems that only a small piece of paint at the end of the brake line broke off, which I will touch up with paint later after making sure there is no leak. Thank you so much!

@Horatio50B 10 лет назад

glad I watched this before replacing wheel cylinders; I needed to use the tip about spinning the cylinders off of the brake line. Thanks Eric.

@williamriley9746 10 лет назад

Thanks for the tip on spinning the cylinder off the brake line. That metal nut wasn't budging without likely busting so I removed the fasteners and bleeder, held the brake line and spun 'er off. The the tip saved me from "hating life"!

@tim3557 11 лет назад

Thank you for your help! You put together a very clear and complete video. Much appreciated and I know that takes a lot of focus and work on your part besides doing the work.

@economycollapse6546 7 лет назад

wish I had watched your video befor I did my job now my wheel cylinders are leaking and scotty kilmer and chrisfix didn't even go in depth like you did, you definitely deserve more subscribers.

@trealwilliams1563 4 года назад

Very informative and great delivery!

@Rusiputki 6 лет назад

My ghetto skills came in handy when I came up with the brilliant idea while looking for a bolt, I cut up a piece of wood instead and used that to jam between the shoes. Worked perfectly to space out the brake cylinder. Of course hats of to you for showing me how to deal with the pipe, I end up rotating the cylinder as suggested and a job well done. I wish I read the comments though as people suggested blow torch and insta cool down to shock lose the fitting. It's ok I think I want to redo all the lines anyway and fit that hydo wand

@SilkyTP 11 лет назад

Jeeze I wish I saw this video last week. Broke the break line trying to get it out of the cylinder. Great advice here. It's the little tips that that would have saved me time and made my language more tame. Thanks ETCG!

@thec4ke 11 лет назад

As usual thanks for all the experience tips along with the process. Keeps me watching.

@duallity2403 4 года назад

Have always gone straight to ChrisFix channel when I needed to fix something. He had a video on this, but his vehicle was so different that I couldn't figure it out. The vehicle you used here is exactly the same and you described what you were doing so well. Consider me subscribed!

@Fsilone 4 года назад

It might be laid out different, but it's still the same concept. One nut holds the brake line to the cylinder, 2 bolts hold the cylinder to the brake flange.

@NoLifeGamingBlog 10 лет назад

You remind me about my dad and how he taught me. Nice to watch your vids even when I know what to do, just for the nostalgia.

@joeman543 6 лет назад

This was very helpful Eric. One of my rear wheel cylinders was totally blown (fluid everywhere) and the other was starting to leak. I guess it took 28 years for a brake problem to arise in my Camry.

@Patrick94GSR 8 лет назад

Nice, glad I found this as I just discovered one leaking on my wife' 96 Corolla after having to add brake fluid every couple of weeks for a few months now (finally got under the back of the car last night to have a looksie after changing the oil.). I'm sure this car is pretty much the same process as our car. Saw a complete drum brake kit on Rockauto with new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and all the various clips and springs, for under $80. Not sure if I should get that or not. I don't recall the rear brakes ever being serviced, not in the 9 years I've known my wife, and the car has 267K miles on it.

@EricTheCarGuy hello eric , nice of u 2 make all these uploads and they r great .i just have this problem watching the hoses clamped , i know it prob havent made eny diff in years but i have worked in production on hydra lines and they can get the steel inside to warp and get faulty . stay dirty..

@MrRaul1207 11 лет назад

awesome way to do videos you are the best i`m a mechanic my self and i always look all your videos because this is what i do an like ,thumbs up great tips for novices

@zx8401ztv 11 лет назад

You must be the one with an ego to have put me down in the first place. This man helps people, it is excellent that he saves people money, appreciating people for helping others does not hurt.

@josephfoster30 5 лет назад

You are the best mechanic on RU-vid. If the brake bleeder valve snaps off on the front calipers then the calipers have to be replaced right?

@spelunkerd 11 лет назад

Another thoughtful review, with lots of advice when things go wrong. Great advice to avoid going there in the first place.

@SELEKTOR12 7 лет назад

You are the man Eric!!

@johnpaulingress6012 8 лет назад

Don't forget people. The brake line connections are different threads (American vs European), Different connections (bubble or inverted), different materials for brake lines (soft rust resistant vs steel), different grade tools for making your own flared ends (cheaper vs superior), different tube diameters.... its a learning curve, and don't forget you can just get the pre-made line many times. Good luck everyone.

@lucidbarrier 7 лет назад

I have no idea what you were trying to say but most places sell SAE and Metric sizes of flare nut (line) wrenches.

I've watched three of these videos now, the little tips such as using a flare spanner, taking off the bleed valve and spinning the cylinder off the line are what makes this video superior. great job!

@sholt2673 2 года назад

My nephew told me about your channel. You’ve been a great help on many auto repairs! My problem is I’m no mechanic! 🤫😵‍💫 I put brake shoes on my daughters car and in doing so I blew both back wheel cylinders. First question: I bought two off brand cylinders from AZ. Can I be comfortable that I can trust them? Second: I called Toyota and for a price to just have them replace the two cylinders. Service told me it would be $1300.00 😮 because one is a master cylinder. I thought the Master Cylinder was under the hood where you add fluid. If what he said is actuate, Is there something special I need to know/do other than what is in your video? Third: in what order do I bleed the brakes on this car? I was told some cars have a different sequence . It is a 2007 Toyota Corolla CE Again, Thanks for the help and all your videos!

@MrJKCampione 11 лет назад

Wow, tons easier than I thought it would be. I paid to have this done 3 years ago, if I had known I would have definitely done it myself.

@darthvincor 11 лет назад

@joedirty7469 8 лет назад

Hello first off thank you for great videos and showing the no spill funnel on one of your videos I purchased one it works great second I have never haad much trouble changing wheel cylinders except on my father in laws 2001 dodge ram laramie I cant seem to get the drums off any recommendations thank you

@zx8401ztv 11 лет назад

Thank you, i didnt think i was mad to appreciate other peoples efforts for us :-)

@jimbola77 11 лет назад

very nice eric just replaced mine good tip helped me out a lots!!!

@errrrrrrrrrrrk 11 лет назад

SHIT, as you said I am hating my life at the moment shredded my brake line at the tip, was really stuck in there and the last person to work on it stripped the head of the brake line. I can't believe that I didn't watch your video first I have been watching a lot of them this week. I would've never broken it if I had've just spun the wheel cylinder off, and I'm kicking myself because the thought crossed my mind. What's my next step man

@josecruzyanez 11 лет назад

I'm glad i subscribed :D. Great and very useful vids ty.

@gageoninja 10 лет назад

Great tips...Your tip on screwing the cylinder off of the end of the brake line when the fitting and brake line are rusted together was spot on. One of the two was rusted together and your tip worked perfectly. Greg

@21Pescatore 11 лет назад

Eric, you the man! Thank you for these video's.There great. Too bad you don't do 2 cycle marine engines.

@axenz1 11 лет назад

Thanks for the video, waiting so long for it lol.... you know why? my rear drum brake also leak same as the video but not to much.. I just top up it when the master cylinder below MAX. Will try the tips dirty my hands. Thanks again Eric the car guy :) One more thing, been long time you never reply question on your youtube video.

@OneAdamTwelve12 3 года назад

Bad As dude, thank you thank you for the tip on a siezed fitting. I was ready to cut the tubing and reflare. Question do I install the new one the same way?

@MrPugs111 11 лет назад

Eric. Have you ever had Peugeot 307 1.6 petrol engine in for repair. It would be great to see one repaired as much as Honda's. LOVING the intel on how the fix cars you are a top mechanic with no bull???? wish we had mechanics like you over in the united kingdom, all they seem to do is rip you off, so having to do alot of the work needed myself. Keep up the fantastic work. Stay dirty.

@zx8401ztv 11 лет назад

Excellent tutorial as allways :-)

@bvnseven 3 года назад

Very helpful Eric. My brake line looks like a bbq potato chip it's so rusted. great idea to pull the cylinder and rotate it instead of mucking up the line. it's getting replaced anyway, but the less hassle the better.

@qrogueuk 11 лет назад

Great video, helped me to replace mine! Thanks

@GoAndStay 5 лет назад

Thanks: 2 Questions: 1. Do you always replace or do you sometimes recondition? 2: What about putting grease or something similar on nuts to prevent rust?

@johnnyyammine77 8 лет назад

Hey Eric , great videos ,Thanks! You got a video on cylinder rebuild? I know you might think useless just buy another. But I'm in another country and finding the parts are sometimes impossible so I would rather repair rebuild.

@bruceg1845 3 года назад

@Collins328 11 лет назад

Mike, you are correct, however, he said it is a compression fit, not a single flare or normal compression fitting. He was simply stating that it is compression of the fitting that seals the line, not the threads.

@ZUGtastic 5 лет назад

@cody1876 3 месяца назад

Great video! I'm trying to replace the brake cylinders on my 91 F250. I purchased what is listed as the approved driver and passenger side replacement cylinders for the vehicle. However when I went to install the new cylinder on the driver side (all shoes, springs, and brackets removed as well), I noticed that when the cylinder is seated into its position, the dust shields are squeezed somewhat on both ends of the cylinder against the back plate. They don't appear to be free from "interference" as yours seems to be in the video. Any thoughts? Am I missing a spacer? Do I need to retrofit a different model cylinder? Much appreciated.

@jonny60991 11 лет назад

eric your awsome . long time sub and i have no plan's to leave soon

@MRSROCKINROBIN 11 лет назад

The lost art of rebuilding stuff.... I understand that it doesn't cost much for a wheel cylinder as I helped Rob change the ones on his truck, then he had me rebuild one so that I would know whats all involved and how it works... Also helped him make entire brake lines... I now would rather rebuild even the simplest thing if I can because it's a lot more fun and I can honestly say I did it!!!! . Merrie

@ratpoision9298 8 лет назад

Eric, but if your brake line is spinning with the nut, alternatively is to pull out-forward the wheel cylinder a bit (while the line is still connected to it with the nut) and spin the entire wheel cylinder off. Do I then need to take off completely the brake shoes system to get enough clearance for this action?

@americanpancakelive 10 лет назад

I found this- awesome!

@ExtremeMorphs 11 лет назад

Thanks for the input. I'm a little hesitant to take both wheels off the ground for some reason. I guess I should give it a go though.

@joesatosa4792 3 года назад

Thanks 🙏 I hate rust I went through everything everything broke nice video 👍

@just_a_guy_doing 11 лет назад

Another trick I use when dealing with rusted line fused to nut, I use propane torch to heat the fitting, then after its heated, I take to spray water on the heated fitting, this I'll call shocks the joint, where the fitting and line were fused. I sometimes have to reheat and spray with water a few more times, but thats an old school trick that works great, also works good for seized bleeders.

@ericthecarguy 11 лет назад

Coming soon.

nice job

@shepd3 11 лет назад

There's a review of it on youtube somewhere. They tried it on a junkyard piece that had been rusting for 30 years and the author was shocked that it worked.

@Cragified 11 лет назад

I'd suggest also looking under the plug in the brake line hole to see there is actually an orfice for fluid to pass into it. I've seen a number of wheel cylinders that weren't drilled deep enough and just dead ended. Saves you the pain of trying to figure out why it wont bleed or work just to have to do the job all over again.

@manuelbou 11 лет назад

Another tip after using the penetrant. is to clean the penetrant off the castellated nut, the lubricant will help strip the nut. so clean it off and I always use "EZ-grip" compound on those nuts to ensure a secure grip and prevent stripping of the nut.

@chucksmith4847 10 лет назад

so, I just read up on turbo sockets, since im replacing the line anyway, I should just cut it off, then attach the turbo socket and hope like hell it'll break free??? how does that sound??? tips anyone?
