Hi,
When I put my Spyder on the lift for an underside inspection and pictures, I
noticed several drops of fluid on the floor and some wetness on the left rear
wheel--usually an indication of a leaking wheel cylinder. I had a friend removed the wheel and drum
and confirmed that the wheel cylinder is leaking (see attached pictures).
I have been told that when one component on a brake system has failed, the others are at
risk as well. That's why my friend does not recommend just replaceing a single component but rather replace all
wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, the soft lines and any brake shoes that have absorbed
brake fluid. I am not a mechanic!
Can the club recommend anyone who might do this work and about what it might cost?
Thank You in Advance
