After servicing or replacing a wheel cylinder, the brake system must be bled to remove any air that may have entered the hydraulic system. This is crucial to ensure proper brake function and responsiveness, as air in the brake lines can lead to a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency. Bleeding the brakes helps restore the integrity of the hydraulic system, ensuring that brake fluid can effectively transmit force to the brake components.
No.
Which item is not a component of the breaking system? Master cylinder, break hose, orifice tube, wheel cylinder
It applies hydraulic pressure at one wheel, causing that brake to close.
Check all of the wheel cylinders for any leaks. Check all of the lines for any kinks, then check the master cylinder again for any air. Air in the system may have gotten into the master cylinder and the cylinder may need bleeding again.
Wheel servicing is important considering the wheels are in constant motion and making direct impact with surfaces. Three aspects of wheel servicing are the air being checked, the lug nuts being tightened properly, and the wheels being aligned accordingly.
Replacing the wheel cylinder is just a couple of extra steps to a 'normal' drum brake job.Disconnect the brake line from the wheel cylinderRemove the 2 mounting boltsBleed the brakesNot sure if the cylinder should be 'primed' with fluid - hopefully the part will come with instructions.See "Related Questions" below for more

An electronic brake system operates a mechanical brake at the wheels. The brake pads and all parts at the wheel need to be checked during the servicing.
Wheel cylinder stops would keep the wheel cylinder from coming apart.
I guess you're referring to the wheel cylinder brake backing plate at the wheel. The one which operates the rods that move the brake shoes. It's usually pretty obvious. A couple of bolts to remove and a brake line to remove from the cylinder. Bear in mind that you'll have to fill and bleed the brake lines after replacing the cylinder.
Did you bleed the air out of the hydraulic system after changing the wheel cylinder? If not, you must do so.
The wheel cylinder (used in drum brake applications) applies pressure delivered from the master cylinder via brake fluidto the brake shoes to pushagainst the brake drum to stop rotation.
