$24.99

Convert hydraulic brake-fluid pressure into the shoe movement that lets your drum brakes bite with the Dorman – First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W41718). Cataloged as a front-left wheel cylinder, it drops in as a direct replacement for the listed applications — including the 1948-1952 Ford F-1, 1953-1967 Ford F-100, 1962-1965 Ford Fairlane, 1954 Hudson Hornet, and 1972-1973 Jeep J-2500 — and Dorman engineers it to match the fit, function, and performance of the original unit on those vehicles.

  • Cast iron body: houses the pistons that push the brake shoes outward against the drum.
  • EPDM rubber cups and boots: seal the bore for long-lasting service.
  • Surface-tested bore: the cylinder bore is surface-tested for an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
  • Ready to install: includes a bleeder screw (bleeder screw cap not included); 1.063 in inside-diameter bore, 3/8-24 inlet thread.

Signs the original may need replacing include brake fluid seeping behind the drum, a soft or spongy pedal, or uneven braking; if a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is the cause, this replaces it. Diagnose the fault first, since these symptoms can have other causes. Country of origin: China.
