I've now got a pretty bad brake fluid leak coming out of my driver side rear brake (org drums). The guy I bought it from already had new brake wheel cylinders in the box sitting in the back. I'm making the assumption they are the right part for the FJ since he said he had ordered them appropriately.
My questions is: do I need any other parts while in there or is the wheel cylinder the primary part that leaks? Once I get in there while replacing are there any other parts that typically need to be changed at the same time to stop the leak?
The leak is getting bad now so I need to get on this fix ASAP and want to prepare for the job by getting some feedback from the folks here beforehand.
I was surprised not to see too many post by searching "rear drum brake leak" on here. If there is already a good thread on this, please send me there.
