I had to rebuild the rear brakes on my '95 F250.
I called ahead, O'reilly's had all the pieces and parts in stock, including the wheel cylinders.
Bear in mind, this is 100 mile round trip.
I paid a friend who's a pretty good mechanic to assist me.
WE drove to town, got the parts, then went to the junkyard to harvest an unbent brake backing plate.
We got home and started the next morning.
We tore it all down and put it all back together.
When we went to bleed the brakes, one of the new cylinders had zero flow.
Fluid all the way up to the end of the brake line, but the cylinder wouldn't have anything to do with it.
The only thing that had anything to do with it, is what I saw printed on the side of the box.
