  Q: What should be done if the wheel cylinders leak on Honda Del Sol?

  A: If the wheel cylinders leak, they must be replaced with new ones as rebuilding is not recommended by the manufacturer. To begin, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling. Remove the brake shoe assembly and clean all dirt and foreign material from around the wheel cylinder. Unscrew the Brake Line fitting without pulling the brake line away from the wheel cylinder, then remove the two wheel cylinder retaining bolts. Detach the wheel cylinder from the brake backing plate and place it on a clean workbench, immediately plugging the brake line to prevent fluid loss and contamination. If the brake shoe linings are contaminated with brake fluid, install new brake shoes and clean the drums with brake system cleaner. For installation, apply RTV sealant to the mating surface of the wheel cylinder and the brake backing plate, position the cylinder, and connect the brake line without tightening the fitting completely yet. Install and securely tighten the mounting bolts, then tighten the brake line fitting and install the brake shoe assembly. Finally, bleed the brakes and check brake operation before driving the vehicle in traffic.
