Rusty Wheel Cylinder Pins

[wally_245]

I am rebuilding my rear drum brakes and I an not sure if it matters if the wheel cylinder pins are pretty rusty.

I looked at PepBoys and it doesn't look like they sell them separate and my wheel cylinders didn't come with new ones.



Any idea if it matters? I hit them with the wire wheel, but the are still pretty bad.

I found them at OReilly, but they only had one in stock. Just to be safe, I ordered the rest. I guess I won't get the brakes done today :(

Autzone had hardware kits for rear drums when I rebuilt my rear drums. Those kits had everything : new springs, pins, brake adjuster, and adjuster arm.

Oh, cool. Thanks.

I just bought the spring kit and the wheel cylinders separate. I wasn't planning on rebuilding the rear brakes, but one wheel cylinder/line was completely clogged. As with anything on a 45 year old car, you do one thing and it opens a whole can of worms. So far I have both rear lines, the flex line, wheel cylinders, spring set and next week I have to order the front to rear line and brass t-junction. Hopefully the hard and flex lines won't need to be changed once I get the new rear-end.

These are the pins that I need.
