ONLY cast-iron brake cylinders can be honed!
To replace the brake cylinders on a Ford Fiesta, start by safely lifting the car and removing the wheel to access the brake assembly. Disconnect the brake line from the old cylinder, then unbolt and remove the cylinder itself. Install the new brake cylinder, reconnect the brake line, and ensure it is tightened securely. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air and ensure proper braking function before replacing the wheel and lowering the vehicle.
Rear brake cylinders or calibers are corroded and need to be replaced. Also drain the replace all brake fluid.
There is no specified time to replace the brake fluid of any vehicle, as long as you keep it topped up. Brake fluid does not 'wear out'. I have replaced the entire brake fluid on only a few occasions, and always only because I have been replacing seals or brake cylinders and it made sense to replace fluid then, before bleeding the system.
That depends on whether you need wheel cylinders. Just for brake shoes and installation, around $150, twice that if you need cylinders.
Rear calibers or wheel cylinders are sticking. This is most often due to brake fluid that is contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause internal parts to rust. Replace the rear calibers/wheel cylinders and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. It can also be a defective proportioning valve.
To replace the brake hose on a 1996 Cadillac, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel for access. Locate the brake hose, then use a line wrench to disconnect it from both the brake caliper and the hard line. Install the new brake hose by connecting it to the caliper and hard line securely, ensuring all fittings are tight. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air and check for leaks before reassembling the wheel.
