I changed my wheel cylinder and the right rear brake still locks up. Could the brake fluid leaking on the shoes cause this? New cylinder bad? any other Ideas. Please help I really want to take my 5 year old in the Iroc to the 2010 Camaro unveiling tonight at the local Chevy dealership.

If the old one was leaking and the shoes were soaked it will cause this condition. Also did you check to see if the axle seals were leaking? Leaking axle seals will cause this condition and worse than a leaking wheel cyl.

You were right, the shoes were soaked in brake fluid. I just drove it for a while slow and hitting the brakes softly and it finally quit locking up. The 2010 Camaro unveiling was great. They had three V6's, I got to drive one of those. They had one of the Indy 500 Pace cars. (I only live about 45 min from Indy) It was a SS 6-speed. and They also had a black SS 6-speed. It was a great time and my 5 year old loved it. Even had some folks taking pics of my Iroc Vert setting outside. Thanks for your help.
