Sierra Rear Wheel Cylinder
Hi,
Something that i have just noticed on my MK rear brakes is that the wheel cylinder isn't at the 12 o'clock position, but more like the 10
o'clock position.
I can't see how it can be any other way due to where the holes are in the hub carrier. I'm now wondering if i got the wrong carriers with
my kit - are they different for the disc version? or will it be ok as is.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Looks fine to me? Can you route the pipe OK?

Looks a bit strange to me.. I thought the Backplates would only go on 1 way due to the 2 bottom holes through the bearing carrier and the back plate
being further apart than the top 2.
Unless they've started to do it differently so its easier to get the brake pipes onto the cylinder, which could be quite likely and a sencible
thing really!.

Well that's what made me realise. I can route the pipe fine and couldn't see the need for the short copper pipe which is supposed to go
from the cylinder to the flexi, so came on here for a look and saw most others had the cylinder at 12 o'clock.

Also i had to move my brake pipe brackets for the flexi hose ,and screwed the s/s flexi hose into the bottom hole in the wheel cylinder and then the
bleed nipple goes in the top hole, when bleeding brakes air rises to the top .= neater job as well does away with silly little copper pipe extension.

brake cylinder is hydraulic and has springs to draw back the shoes - even wit the small difference gravity may have on the arrangeemtn. it will work
no matter at which o'clock position it is mounted in.
only difference may be when bleeding and gettig air trapped but that should be easily overcome.
