tales of stupidity

a while back my friend and i where putting new brake lines on my car and when we finished we went to bleed the brakes. like the idiot i am, i forgot to put the drum on the rear driver side wheel, and after a min or so the cylinder popped out and it was like 11 pm, and i couldn't get it back in and i think i threw it away. now i'm at carparts.com looking for what i need to get, is it just a new wheel cylinder? or do i need to order other parts? thanks.

Why did you have the drum off just to put on brake lines?

Yes, all you need is the wheel cylinder; should cost about $12 or so.

Well since you will be putting on a new wheel cylinder when was the last time the other side was changed? I prefer to replace both sides at once so the wear will be the same on them. They are dirt cheap so it's worth doing both sides.
