Is a bleeder screw included?
Yes, a bleeder screw is included. A bleeder screw cap is not included.
What is it made of?
The body is cast iron, with EPDM rubber cups and boots. The bore is surface-tested to provide a sealing surface for the pressure cups.
What are signs the wheel cylinder may need replacing?
Brake fluid leaking at the drum or wheel, a soft or spongy pedal, or uneven braking can be signs it may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other parts can produce these symptoms.
