Push the drum brake shoes outward against the drum with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W3731 — a direct-fit hydraulic replacement for the front-left wheel position on the 1946-1948 Chevrolet Fleetline, 1946-1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster, and 1946-1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster Series (All engines). It is engineered to install like the original wheel cylinder on these listed applications, and is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.

  • Cast iron construction: a cast iron body houses a 1.25 in inside-diameter bore.
  • EPDM sealing: made with high-quality EPDM rubber cups and boots for long-lasting performance.
  • Surface-tested bore: the cylinder bore is surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
  • Serviceable: a bleeder screw is included (bleeder screw cap not included); 7/16-20 inlet thread.

Swapping in a fresh wheel cylinder while the drum brakes are already apart is a cost-effective way to keep the hydraulic side of the brake working correctly. Sold individually as the front-left unit; wheel cylinders are best replaced as a matched pair across the axle for balanced braking. Country of origin: Taiwan.
