C30 Wheel Cylinder

(1/1)

86LG4T5:
I need to replace the wheel cylinder inside the drum brake.  I have it torn down to the backing plate.  I can't get at where the brake line connects behind the backing plate because of the huge leaf spring in the way.  Is there a trick?  Thank you!!

86LG4T5:
I ended up taking out the bolts that hold on the backing plate and pulled it forward to give me room.

VileZambonie:
Crack the line loose, unbolt it, slide it forward, hold onto the line with a flare nut wrench and spin it off.
