why do one of my wheel cylinders keep blowing up??
As a class "A" mechanic i would have to agree xmr and say the rear flex lines could be shot. In my 1970 Plynouth Duster it has drum brakes all around and as I was driving to the track one day i had the lucky experience of brake lock up at a stop sign due to the breke fluid saturated the shoes. As it turns out, because the flex line was so old, it broke down from the inside and swollen up to the point of not letting fluid bak to master cyl. so every time you hit the brakes it keep that fluid in the wheel cyl and POP!! a blown cyl.
just my thought, you can take it or leave it but I hope it helps!!!
