Default Re: Wheel cylinder

I've found that the cast iron of the wheel cylinder is really soft and the thread engagement is not that long. It should be fairly easy to snap off the heads of the bolts as you're replacing the wheel cylinder anyway. If the bolts are rusted to the backing plate a couple of whacks with a hammer and punch should loosen them up. Good luck.

The brake line and nut came out in one piece?
