Blew a wheel cylinder

If you've blown the seals out, make sure that you either clean the shoes WELL, or replace them.
 
The hardest part is breaking free those brake lines from the back of the cylinders. I recomment you buy a "line" wrench to help prevent rounding off the nuts. Do one side at a time ofcourse so you have a reference. I just re-did my entire rear system (I mean everything...soup to nuts) for less that 130.00. What a difference it made AND, most importantly, I finally passed inspection!
 
good time to put in some speed bleeders too.
 
I just did mine today. The wheel cylinder was easy, but the brake lines didn't want to play nice. I ended up replacing both of the hard lines back to the splitter.
