Unhappy No brakes!!

Today i decided to do some brake work. I changed my pads and traced my brake fluid leak, which i found in my rear right wheel, so i took my tire off and removed my drum, i looked at it for a while then i saw a leak coming from this little black thing, i looked in my haynes manual and the little thing is called a "rear wheel cylinder" so i called around to see if anyone carried it but no one knew what i was talking about. Any of you guys know where i can get this part? Without it i won't have any brakes because of the air in the lines, thanks

It is called the rear wheel cylinder! I’d call another parts house! If the inter boor of the cylinder is still good you can also get a rebuild kit for it!

My AutoZone is pretty good, but I still print a parts list off their web page before I even go, you just never know if your going to get a mental midget at the counter.

Stupid parts counter monkeys!

I am confused, your profile said you have a GSL but your car has rear drums? If it is the drum cylinder, you can usually find on on Ebay or just look on Mazdatrix web site. www.mazdatrix.com

yeah its a rear end from the junker, it was the only one they had so i didn't have much of a choice, but the car they pulled it out of was an 84gs, i'll check e-bay
p.o.s racer, they have everything in tx, if you want something here, you either gotta explain it like a 4 year old or show them a picture...morons, even at the race track they show their stupidity by saying "here's the 4 cylinder rotary engine coming up again" wtf?
