Durable Construction and Precise Fitment

The WC131262 wheel cylinder features a robust cast iron casting material that withstands the rigors of braking pressure and heat. Its 0.875-inch bore diameter is designed to match the original equipment specifications, ensuring smooth piston movement and effective brake application. The bolted attachment type allows for a secure and stable fit within the drum brake assembly. Additionally, the included bleeder screw facilitates proper brake system maintenance by allowing trapped air to be released efficiently.

Compatible Applications and Common Uses

This Wagner Brake drum brake wheel cylinder is specifically compatible with Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique vehicles, making it a suitable replacement part for maintaining your brake hydraulics system. It addresses several common brake system issues, including:

  • Brake fluid leaks from worn or damaged wheel cylinders
  • Reduced braking efficiency due to piston sticking or corrosion
  • Uneven brake shoe wear caused by inconsistent hydraulic pressure
  • Difficulty in bleeding brakes due to missing or faulty bleeder screws

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the WC131262 wheel cylinder, ensure the brake system is fully depressurized and the vehicle is securely lifted. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain or source the appropriate bolts for a proper fit. Use the included bleeder screw to remove air from the brake lines after installation. Inspect brake shoes and drums for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance.
