Jeep Patriot Wheel Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace a wheel cylinder on Jeep Patriot?A:If replacement is warranted, usually because of fluid leakage or sticky operation, explore all options before beginning the job. New wheel cylinders are available, which makes this job quite easy. Never replace only one wheel cylinder. Always replace both of the mats at the same time. To remove, first remove the rear brake shoes. Use a flare-nut wrench to disconnect the Brake Line fitting from the wheel cylinder. Plug the end of the brake line to prevent fluid loss and contamination. Remove the two bolts securing the wheel cylinder to the backing plate and remove the wheel cylinder. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the wheel cylinder mounting bolts and the line fitting securely. Install the brake shoes and brake drum. Bleed the brakes. Carefully test brake operation before resuming normal operation.
