'57 Wheel Cylinders

[Bob A.]

I would like to have the front and rear wheel cylinders rebuilt or replaced. Where is the best place to have cylinders rebuilt? Can you purchase rebuilt cylinders? I also need to purchase Brake Shoes, who has the best products?

Thanks for your information!

Re: '57 Wheel Cylinders

Rebuilding the wheel cylinders is not that tough of a job; if they are not overly pitted. You can get rebuild kits at car parts stores like NAPA. Buy a cylinder rehoner to clean the inside and install the kit. Brake shoes are still available at these stores also. If that fails, try one of the Corvette vendors.
