    Question on the cylinders on the drum brakes is there a right an left? Or is both sides use the same one on each side

    Been a few years since I last performed rear drum brake service but direct replacement wheel cylinders for the TJ fit either side. Use flare wrenches to loosen the brake line and clean up the brake fluid leak with some brake cleaner.

    EDIT: Advance/Autozone website did not state L or R but check out your L+R wheel cylinders to see whether they look different for brake line port and bleeder screw position. Other tips are watch for rusty frozen bolts and avoid cross threading the brake line.
