Wheel Cylinders are Different
Wed Jul 9 17:10:14 2003
Front wheel cylinders are single piston, 1 1/8" diameter. Left side (driver's) has right hand threaded adjuster, right side (passenger) has left hand threaded adjuster. All four have bleed fittings, position them closest to tire.
Rear cylinders are double piston, 7/8" diameter. Same story on the adjusters. One bleed fitting per wheel, goes in front of axle, closest to tire.
Front (single piston) has more stopping power, rears have less. In the rear you are splitting the hydraulic force in two and directing it to 8 smaller pistons instead of 4 larger ones.
