Normally you just replace them now a days but I was doing the rear brakes and cylinders on a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, and let rust penetrant soak the tube nuts overnight and one side freed ok and the other side didn't.Tube nut was stuck good on line, No problem removing the bleeder, however Not much slack with line or enough room to rotate the wheel cylinder off the tube nut, so I took the old wheel cylinder apart and whipped out my ancient wheel cylinder hone and rebuilt it from the cannibalized innards of the new wheel cylinder. Just didn't feel like dealing with chasing for more parts, dealing with long lines and Auto Zoners and fabricating a new brake line afterwards. Worked out ok.
Anyone remember rebuilding wheel cylinders ?
