Hey guys, I'm covered in brake fluid and have lost all patience with parts guys. I just put a new 3.42 rear end in my car from an Iroc. I bought new wheel cylinders for both sides about 2 weeks ago, and put them in when it was on the shop floor. Now I have the rear end in, brake lines in, drums done, and ready to fire up and guess what?

Brake fluid is squirting out of the new wheel cylinders right at the nut, I know it's not the flare, It was a metric one in the beggining, it threaded in perfect, and the double bubble was great. My new flare is even better, and again, the correct nut. I believe that I was sold cheap, chinese rebuilt wheel cylinders. What do I do now? Spend another $70 to get 2 new ones?

 

Common guys, I really need some insight here, I've tried everything but swapping wheel cylinders.. I put metric conversion fittings on for the wheel cylinders ( I matched it up with the ones on the original rear end) that already have the flare on it, and it still pisses out. What now?

 

Take them back for replacement. If they are defected ask for a replacement or your money back. Or the parts store sold you the wrong ones?

 

I think it's the right ones, but just chinese pieces of ****. It's almost like they didn't put the bubble inside the wheel cylinder to mate up with the one on the brake line. I'm gonna take them back tommorow, now I have to tear it all back apart again.. Maybe I can make a big fuss and get something free out of it all...

 

Got it working, no worries.
