Keep hydraulic pressure moving to your drum brakes with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W4875), a front wheel cylinder that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1939-1942 and 1946-1949 Studebaker Champion (All engines). Mounted in the drum, it channels brake-fluid pressure to push the brake shoes outward against the drum.
Dorman built this cylinder to match the fit, function, and performance of the original unit on the listed applications, and each one is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.
Specs include a 1 in inside diameter and a 3/8-24 in inlet thread. Country of origin: Taiwan. Each listed application uses two cylinders, so this one is sold individually — order two for a complete axle set and replace both sides together for balanced braking.
Signs this part may need replacing include brake fluid leaking at the drum, a soft or spongy pedal, or uneven braking; diagnose the cause before replacing.
