Rear brake issue.

Drewmantoo · 07-09-2011, 02:26 PM

I have a 94 4x4 Ranger and my rear cylinders are leaking and the self adjuster accuating cable is broke. My question is do i have to replace the cylinder, put in a rebuild kit, or will replacing the cable solve my problem. Wheel cylinder appears to be working fine, I'm limited on money and any help would be greatly appreciated. I use my truck for work so I need to get back on the road as soon as I can, Thanks

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section. Replace the leaking wheel cylinders, and any other necessary brake parts.

Replacing the cable will not repair the leak but it should help the self adjusting system work. As to the leak, a rebuild kit should fix the leak unless there is enough corrosion or a score in the cylinder that can't be cleaned up with a little emery cloth. Wheel cylinders are not that expensive if you need to replace it.

I have a complete set of drum assemblies you might be interested in: link

Not sure what shipping would be to Denver, but it might be worth it for you.
