In this DIY Auto Repair video, young mechanic Aiman will give you ideas and show you how to remove rear brake wheel cylinder on Toyota Prius Gen II I4 1.5L Hybrid Synergy Drive. Second generation Prius model years are 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009.
Obviously, In order to remove the wheel cylinder, you will first have to remove the rear brake drums & shoes. To avoid this video being too long, we have a separate video on how to remove, replace & install the rear drums and shoes. Here's the link: How To Remove & Replace Rear Brake Sh...
The drum brake system includes multiple parts that must work harmoniously in order to efficiently apply pressure to the wheel hubs and slow a vehicle down. The brake wheel cylinder is the primary part that helps the brake shoes apply pressure to the inside of the drum, thereby slowing the vehicle down.
Unlike brake shoes or pads or the brake drum itself, the brake wheel cylinder is not designed to wear out. In fact, it's very rare that this component breaks or fails at all. However, there are times when the brake wheel cylinder can wear out sooner than expected.
When you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder fills the wheel cylinders with fluid. Pressure created by this fluid is what activates the brake wheel cylinder to the brake shoes. Since the brake wheel cylinder is made from steel (on the outer cover) but rubber seals and components on the inside, it is possible for these internal components to wear out due to excessive heat and extensive use. Trucks and larger, heavier vehicles (such as Cadillacs, Lincoln Town Cars and others) tend to experience brake wheel cylinder failure more frequently than others.
When this occurs, they need to be replaced while servicing the brake drums; you should replace the old brake shoes and ensure all components inside the rear brake drum are also replaced at the same time.
The wheel cylinder on the brake system fails if the brakes are mushy, they respond poorly, or there is leaking brake fluid.
After replacing the wheel cylinder, you must bleed the brake fluid to get rid of the air bubble introduced into the system.
