rear brake drum leak

[Liu997]

I found a leak today in the drums so I disassembled everything and found a small cut on the wheel cylinder boot. the little rubber thingy. Where can I buy one? The only thing i found was the whole assembly on sale at advanced

You should be able to buy a replacement slave cylinder for it, both genuine and aftermarket.

The "boot' is just a "dust cover".
If it's leaking you have a leak internally from the pistion and need to either rebuild the cylinder (if they still sell rebuild kits) or get a new one.

Agree with redride. The whole cylinder should only be like 20-30 bucks. Tell whoever did your rear brakes last to be more careful next time.

thanks guys will do

it's more trouble than it's worth to rebuild. plus, if you do one you gotta do the other due to size differences in the bore diameters causing differences in pressure drops on the drums.

any way, just get a new one.
