Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Dorman 123245 kit features a bore size of 1.063 inches, which is critical for matching the original equipment specifications of many drum brake systems. The inclusion of dust boots and seals helps prevent dirt and moisture from compromising the wheel cylinder's internal components, extending the service life of the brake system. Wheel cylinder cups are also included to facilitate a thorough rebuild, although this kit does not contain bleeder screws, bleeder screw caps, mounting hardware, expander springs, or pistons. This makes it ideal for technicians who need to replace worn or damaged seals and boots without replacing the entire wheel cylinder assembly.
