rear brake cylinders

[martyboy]

hi there just bought two new rear brake cylinders which was hoping to fit in the morning
i opened the box up and read the paper work which explains before fitting take them apart and smear some brake grease around the cylinder parts ????

basically is this critical or must it be carried out ??

thanks

I`d say Definitely,,, especially if you want them to last.

Me either. All the brake cylinders I have fitted in the past simply fitted straight out the box. Seems odd the manufacturer would assemble the new cylinders without any lubricant.

Never had to do that before and ive fitted loads of rear cylinders to many diffrent cars over the years are they the mexican ones
