Summary
What is the brake cylinder and how to disassemble and install it?
Most cars have two types of brake calipers: with floating pistons and without floating pistons.
This happens because calipers without floating pistons are often integrated with handbrakes or other more complex braking systems. This means that when you want to replace the brake pads, you will need a special tool to retract the piston.
What is a brake cylinder?
The brake cylinder is a device used to distribute braking force, usually used in the braking system of motorcycles or bicycles. It distributes braking force by transmitting pressure from the main brake master cylinder to each brake piston. The device usually consists of multiple parts, including pistons, seals, springs, etc.
How to install and maintain a brake wheel cylinder？
Some special tools may be required when installing and maintaining the brake cylinder, these tools can help simplify operation and ensure safety
Brake Piston Compressor: This is the tool used to compress the brake piston back into the wheel cylinder. When replacing brake pads, the piston needs to be compressed in order to install the new pads. A brake piston compressor can help you accomplish this task easily while ensuring the piston is installed correctly into the wheel cylinder.
Brake Piston Push Tool: Sometimes, you may need an additional tool to push the brake piston when you compress it. This tool is usually designed to fit the piston of a specific model and braking system, providing extra support and stability when compressing the piston.
Brake cylinder pliers: This tool is used to tighten the brake cylinder, especially during installation. It ensures that the connecting bolts are installed correctly and provides additional torque when needed.
Brake hose pliers: A tool used to secure and unfasten brake hoses. This tool provides extra grip and support to help keep the oil line stable when removing and installing the brake wheel cylinder.
Brake cylinder seal installation tool: This tool is used to install the seal in the brake cylinder. It can help you correctly install the sealing ring into the wheel cylinder, ensuring that the sealing ring is not damaged or misaligned.
These specialized tools are designed to simplify the maintenance and installation process of brake cylinders and ensure safe and accurate operation.
