Evening (morning). Thanks to all who responded about my wheel cylinder question. My backing plate was so (c)rusty that it looked like the cylinders were tack-welded on. Well, my friend Oxy-Acetylene had something to say to my wheel cylinders... :) Anyway, let's just say I won't be re-using them. So, after a trip to the local FLAPS (M&S Auto in Waldorf, MD -- the only one worth mentioning...) I now have a new everything but the master cylinder and hope to install most of it tomorrow. I still need to acquire the e-brake arm for the driver's rear hub but I think I can scrape one up. I'll post news of my successful installation later (or I'll be whining pitifully).
