Keep hydraulic pressure flowing to your rear drum brake shoes with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W79985). Mounted at the rear drum, the cylinder converts brake-line pressure into outward piston movement that pushes the brake shoes against the drum. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement on classic AMC and Ford applications, including the 1970-1976 AMC Gremlin and Hornet, 1971-1973 Javelin, 1975-1976 Pacer, 1960-1964 Ford Falcon and Ranchero, 1960-1964 Mercury Comet, 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II, 1972-1980 Ford Pinto, 1975-1980 Mercury Bobcat, and 1964 Mercury Cyclone (All engines) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Cast-iron body: machined to a 0.875 in bore with a 3/8-24 inlet thread.
  • EPDM rubber cups and boots: high-quality sealing components for long-lasting performance.
  • Surface-tested bore: the cylinder wall is surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
  • Includes a bleeder screw: bleeder screw cap not included.

Engineered to drop in like the original wheel cylinder on the listed vehicles, it is manufactured and tested for quality assurance. This listing is for one cylinder; each listed application uses two (one per rear wheel), so order two for a complete rear-drum service. Country of origin: China.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this wheel cylinder do?

It's the rear drum-brake hydraulic actuator: brake-line pressure moves its internal pistons outward to press the brake shoes against the drum. If a leaking or seized original cylinder is your issue, this replaces it.

Does it include a bleeder screw?

Yes, a bleeder screw is included. A bleeder screw cap is not included.

What is the bore size and inlet thread?

The cast-iron cylinder has a 0.875 in inside diameter (bore) and a 3/8-24 inlet thread size.

How many do I need for my vehicle?

This listing is for one wheel cylinder. The listed applications use two (one per rear wheel), so order two to service both sides together.

Which vehicles does this fit?

It fits rear drum brakes on select 1960-1980 AMC, Ford, and Mercury models (All engines), such as the Gremlin, Hornet, Falcon, Mustang II, Pinto, and Bobcat. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
