JFranklin Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If you have trouble finding them you can get the old ones re-sleeved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.E.Butcher Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I replaced both right and left rear wheel brake cylinders on my '48 LC with new DORMAN cylinders. They are different for right and left sides. The left is W4803 and the right is W4804. I just called Dorman today and they are available , but will not sell unless through a local jobber. I ordered at my local auto parts shop I deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray500 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Chris @ Boos Harrel Lincoln usually has them. Give him a call! Lincoln brakes are different from Ford, but I think the wheel cylinders are very similar. Shoes are a bit different. I just rebuilt my '41 Zephyr brakes and the fronts are easy, rears are harder. I have a special puller to get the hubs off the rear. Those bearings need replacing while you're working in that area. Chris has all of those items to make it happen!

abelincoln Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I went to my local Friction Supply to turn drums and flywheel. They had the wheel cylinders in stock. Must have been used for other vehicles as well. Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray500 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Be careful buying those types of parts from unknown sources, Lincoln parts are very specific. I know some have used Ford wheel cylinders, but they are not the original ones. Log onto Lincoln Zephyr Owner's Club as they do list suppliers. There have been some 'new' ones made recently, probably China. Brakes are critical on these cars, so put the proper ones on so you don't have to worry about stopping! Make sure you put on the proper high pressure hoses to the wheel cylinders too, as they go bad after time and use. In redoing my brakes on my '41 Zephyr I also changed out the brake lines as the old ones can leak as they are flexed when turning on the front, and flexed on the rears in operations.

v12lincoln Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Just picked up a new set of wheel cylinders from Napa. 1951-1956 Packard part# 9025 and 9026. Also the Cadillac from 1964-1966 didn't get that part#. Thank you for all your help. They were only 16 bucks each, ordered 2 more since I can use them on my packards too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
