Chevy Malibu LS Rear Wheel Cylinder Re-build


The 2002 Chevy Malibu LS was making a terrible grinding noise on the driver's side rear break for a number of weeks. Figured is was the rear brake shoes but after removing the rear wheel saw fluid was on the break shoes. Resulted in a second trip to the Autozone for a wheel cylinder rebuild kit and had the brakes working noise free again. Inspected all four tires and brakes/shoes on the other three wheels looked good. Bleed the brakes, added air to all four tires, and power washed the motor to sparkly clean and the job was complete. Mileage 61,642.
