The Wheel Cylinder used in Chevrolet Metro vehicles is a very important component that presses the brake shoes against the brake drum in order to brake. This hydraulic mechanism includes pistons, cup seals, and an expander spring and is enclosed in a cast iron or an aluminum housing. On applying the brake pressure, pistons come out and the shoes press against the drum. The wheel cylinder can suffer from a form of corrosion water in the brake fluids; this which leads to leakage and low braking efficiency. Thus, a proper functioning of the brakes in vehicles require periodical inspection and maintenance. If there is leakage, the wheel cylinder has to be either replaced or refurbished by using a new rebuild kit with the components of cup seals and boots. Replacing a wheel cylinder with the one having a more polished surface and greater corrosion resistance can increase its durability as well as the vehicle's safety on the roadway.
