How long can I wait?I wouldn't wait at all if the wheel cylinders are leaking.
They can be overhauled with a wheel cylinder kit, bit it comes out pretty much the same price as simply replacing them with new ones.
Your brakes are probably the most important system on your vehicle - next to perhaps the steering - bite the bullet and get them repaired before you rear end a bus load of litigation lawyers.Do you have to change the cylinders on your brakes if they're leaking? How long can I wait?HI

How long can I wait?You can rebuild them right on the car ,you can buy the kit at any parts storeDo you have to change the cylinders on your brakes if they're leaking? How long can I wait?I take it you are talking about the wheel cylinders on the rear end of a vehicle with drum brakes in the back. If they are leaking they have to be replaced IMMEDIATELY. I put an emphasis on that word because its a serious safety issue where the brake system will not be able to work, not to mention what other damage can happen as a result of this problem. In fact lots of shops are not allowed by law to let a customer that got a brake inspection where the vehicle has a serious brake safety issue drive away. They can let the customer get the vehicle towed to the house but not allowed to drive away. To replace it is not that hard. You will need a new wheel cylinder, brake fluid, brake cleaner, wheel bearing seals, and wheel bearing grease as a bare minimum (this can vary from case to case and what else has been damaged). I have replaced some that the problem was held off for so long the lining on the brake shoes had pretty much dissolved away to what looked like mud (insanely unsafe). Needless to say the brake shoes had to be replaced as well.
Anyway, I hope this fills you in on the importance of this issue.
