Rebuild your drum brake wheel cylinder instead of replacing the whole unit with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder Kit (MPN 35895). It's designed to service the rear left and rear right wheel cylinders across a broad range of vehicles, including the 1973-1981 Honda Civic, 1982-1984 Nissan Sentra, 1988-2002 Mazda 626, and 1991-2003 Ford Escort — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
Inside a drum brake, the wheel cylinder uses hydraulic pressure to push its pistons outward, forcing the brake shoes against the drum. The cups and dust boots in this kit seal that assembly and help keep contaminants out. If worn or leaking seals are the cause of a spongy pedal or fluid seepage at the wheel cylinder, these components let you reseal it.
This listing is for one repair kit; most vehicles have a wheel cylinder on each rear wheel, so many technicians rebuild both sides together for balanced braking. Country of origin: China. Manufacturer part number 35895.

What does a wheel cylinder do?
In a drum brake, it uses hydraulic pressure to push its pistons outward against the brake shoes. Worn seals can cause fluid leaks or a spongy pedal; if that's the cause, this kit reseals it.
