The Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W57146 converts brake-fluid pressure into the outward push that forces your rear brake shoes against the drum. It's a direct-replacement rear wheel cylinder engineered to match the original's fit, function and performance on the listed applications — including the 1965/1976-1979/1981-1992 Ford F-250, 1968-1972/1982-1992 Ford F-350, 1976-1984 Ford E-250 Econoline, 1978-1992 Ford E-350 Econoline, 1998 Dodge B2500, and a wide range of 1965-1973 Jeep J-series and 1968-1971 Jeepster models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This unit is cataloged for the rear-left or rear-right position and is sold individually. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace both sides together as a matched pair while servicing the drum brakes. Country of origin: China.
Manufacturer part number W57146.
What does this wheel cylinder do?
It uses brake-fluid pressure to push its pistons outward, forcing the rear brake shoes against the drum. If a leaking or seized original cylinder is the cause of weak or uneven braking, this replaces it.
Which position does it fit?
It is cataloged for the rear-left or rear-right position on the listed applications and is sold individually. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is the bleeder screw included?
Yes, a bleeder screw is included. A bleeder screw cap is not included.
What are the bore and thread specs?
The cylinder has a 1 in bore and a 3/8-24 in brake inlet thread, in a cast-iron body with EPDM rubber cups and boots.
Should I replace both sides?
It's sold individually, but replacing both rear wheel cylinders together as a matched pair during brake service is recommended for even, balanced braking.
