MAN 36504106005 Brake cylinder repair kit

Description

This brake cylinder repair kit is designed to restore the functionality of wheel cylinder assemblies in braking systems. It is specifically intended for use in MAN vehicles. The kit includes all necessary components to rebuild and reseal the wheel cylinder, preventing brake fluid leaks and maintaining optimal braking performance. This repair kit offers a cost-effective solution for addressing brake system issues, ensuring reliable and safe operation. It is manufactured in Germany with the MPN 36504106005 and dimensions of 45 x 178 x 178 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically refreshes the parts inside your wheel cylinder – that's the component that takes the fluid pressure from your master cylinder and turns it into mechanical force to press the brake shoes against the drum, or the pads against the rotor in some designs. The kit includes new seals, o – rings, pistons, sometimes even the springs and clips. It’s everything you need to rebuild the cylinder itself, bringing it back to good working order. Think of the wheel cylinders as the muscles of your braking system. The master cylinder provides the initial push, but these guys actually do the work of clamping down on the brakes at each wheel. They’re part of the hydraulic system, so the fluid pressure moves through lines and into these cylinders. Each cylinder pushes a piston, and that’s what creates the force to stop your car. You'll have one cylinder per wheel, or sometimes combined ones for a dual wheel setup.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, over time, those seals and pistons inside the wheel cylinders wear out. Brake fluid is corrosive, and heat from braking cycles can cause rubber parts to degrade. When that happens, you start to lose braking efficiency, you might get spongy brakes, or even a complete brake failure at one or more wheels. A leak is a dead giveaway, of course. You’ll notice if your brake pedal starts to feel soft or goes to the floor more easily, or if you see fluid around one of your wheels. Replacing just the kit is usually a lot cheaper than replacing the whole cylinder, and it restores your stopping power. Lots of people find these kits at places like Fixparts Online; they have a good selection and can get you what you need to do the job right.
