I broke a easy out in the bleeder hole of a rear wheel cylinder trying to get the broken bleeder out and I was wondering if they used that type of wheel cylinder on later fords maybe I can get one at a parts store or if not I have to look else where maybe the t bird site thanks.

Hello Timmy,You will do better on these than the muffler.Autozone and Napa online both show a listing for these.Fronts are about $13.00 and rear about $9.00 online,maybe more at store.If my memory serves from my time at the Ford parts counter they are the same as 60's Mustang and several other models.You should have no problem with these!You might want to check the condition of the 3 flex hoses on yours if you are ordering wheel cylinders although I wouldn't be surprised if they were in stock at most autoparts places.If you are removing the flex hoses watch out for the copper washers on the left side where the hose screws into the junction block on the frame.The hollow bolt that screws into flex hose has two washer for sealing ,one on top of block and one to seal hose to block..If you dont put them in the block will leak!Guess how I know?Dont overtighten when reassembling because the bolt is hollow and will break.Snug up but not too tight.That washers should be replaced.Should get them from the parts place,Take a sample with you.Regards Mark

Timmy, your cylinders are 15/16" dia. so any car that has those will be ok . Any 52-59 ford and 59-60 Edsel will work. I would go to NAPA first they always have what I need all the time. The other stores sometimes you get an idiot on the other side of the counter and it goes downhill form there. Get you a catalog from Macs auto parts. macsautoparts.com and select the catalog you need. Then you are on your way. But most of all , stick to it ,its all worth it when you are done. Good luck Earl in NC

 Hello Timmy,I was thinking about what you are doing with the brakes.If you are replacing one cylinder and the master cylinder you should consider replacing all the cylinders.It sounds like this car has been sitting a long time and very likely the brake system has absorbed a little moisture.If you do the one cylinder I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of the old ones start to leak afterwords.The weak link always developes problems fist.If you replace the one cylinder you will need to bleed the brakes and you wont likely get the other bleeders open anyway.I was surprised to see how reasonable the prices were for new ones.I did my brakes last year when I got my car because the clinders were completely seized and they were about $20-$23.00 each.Something to think about!Mark

Tim, Mark is right. I didnt know car was sitting a long time. If so, replace everything all 4 wheels.

Another advantage to replacing all wheel cylinders at once: the bleeder screws will likely all be the same size. They tend to vary (SAE/metric) with whoever is NAPA's current supplier.
It's also good to have a longevity baseline. When one cylinder starts to leak, I know the rest won't be far behind!

On the old cars you should not cut corners because if you loose anything you loose everything and always replace the hoses at the same time it is all about what you think your life is worth.
