I bought this because I had too many bad experiences with someone else's wheel brake cylinders. Nowadays, even the most famous vendors cannot be trusted. Specifically I had 3 sets of wheel cylinders that leaked in 2 weeks on the same machine, the last set that leaked was a straw which snapped the camels back and took the axle seals with it causing gear oil to leak all over the new set of shoes. . Looking back, I had to restore the ones on the car. I disassembled the wheel cylinders and found fragments in one of them. Anyway, I'm (slowly) restoring the brakes on a '69 F250 and started with an LR wheel, which I found as the truck warmed up. . The slave cylinder was completely jammed. I had to soak the pistons in Aerocroil and push them out with a brass punch. One side of the wheel cylinder was so badly scarred it was impossible to salvage, but I washed it with soap and water and a stiff brush and sharpened it for practice. I'm glad I didn't lose touch. I started by cleaning and drying the cylinder, clamped it in aluminum sponges in a vise, lubricated the stones and cylinder with clean brake fluid and followed. The cylinder turned out to be near perfect, with good cross-hatching, as on a fresh cylinder wall, except for deep indentations from which water must have drained for a long time. I threw it in a pile of junk but if it wasn't for the box it would be usable. I am sure that I will make good use of this tool in the future.
