jeffer949 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 So I've been working on my z and I'm rebuilding the wheel cylinders on the rear brakes. Somehow I lost one of the springs that goes on the piston. Anybody have one laying around? Maybe someone who did a rear disk upgrade? Let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 There are springs but they're not "on the piston". Probably fastest to just go to your local auto parts store. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/Drum+Brake+Hardware+Kit/01271/C0064.oap?model=260Z&vi=5142642&year=1974&make=Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 No there is a cone shaped spring that goes inside the wheel cylinder and goes on the piston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Good luck. Probably need another rebuild kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Unfortunately I haven't seen any rebuild kits that include the spring. I'm hoping someone has a junk wheel cylinder laying around that they can rob the spring out of. Otherwise I'm going to have to buy a new cylinder.

S30 SPL Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think the cylinders are different between different years no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
