I just finished replacing drums, shoes, and wheel cylinders on both sides of my FJ62. Everything was great and I thought I was done, until I had my wife step on the brake pedal while the drum was off so I could make sure everything was working. I saw brake fluid leak out of the brand new wheel cylinder that I bought from Napa yesterday. I pulled back the dust grommet and dried up the fluid, it doesn't seem to be a constant leak. However, is it likely a brand new wheel cylinder would be faulty? I just don't want this whole brake job to go to waste and have brake fluid all over my new gear.
Thoughts? Should I just go on with it and check it out in a few days? Or should I bite the bullet and have Napa exchange for another wheel cylinder?
Such a bummer. Was excited to be done with this.
