mk3 fiesta rear brake

Postby fezza89 on Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:41 pm

Hi.

My drivers side rear brake aint working. It appears to have leaked brake fluid through the drum and everytime its left sitting for a while the brake locks on til i roll forward. Could this be brake cylinder? The car is a 94 mk3 1.3

also does anyone know the part number of the correct brake cylinder if this is the problem?

Cheers
brad

If its leaking id say its a cylinder which means prob a new copper pipe on the back aswell and a set of brake shoes which you will have to do on both sides
