Rear wheel cylinder woes

ludesrv

Hey all.

I had to replace both my rear wheel cylinders to pass a safety. 2 weeks after I took them off I still can't find any. Honda said it would be a 2 month wait as they are on back order. They can only get me one.

All the other part stores I've tried claim they have a wagon one, but when I show up they give me hatch back ones.

What gives? I needed them 2 weeks ago and now it will cost me another 60$ to pay for a second safety as the allowable time period has expired.

I regret buying a wagon. Parts are not interchangeable with anything and are damn pricey too.

4wd or 2wd? I got both.

Oh she's a 2wd. Put a DOHC ZC in it. I already have half the turbo kit built for it.

I found 2 others store that said they could get them but I'm pretty sure they will give me the hatch ones.

i dont see why its so hard to find them i bet we have a set on the shelf at work.

AWD Wagon

I picked mine up through Fairview Acura...you could ask for Peter he is the parts manager there....I also was sent the whell cyclinders for the hatchback at the time but did get the ones for the wagon through Acura....

I'll call Acura during my lunch and see what they got. Just seems like such a pain to find this part. I've now tried 8 different places and they have all turned me away, 1 of which was the dealer who told me there was only 1 known left on a shelf in Vancouver (7 day wait period).

I have faith in the one company but if they can't get it I'll have to order it online...which probably means I'll receive hatchback ones and won't be able to return them

Beck Arnley part# 0728498
Doorman part# W37848
also, "True Torque" part# W37848 (same as Doorman)

It is the same for 4wd and 2wd. I don't know if they ship to Canada, but this site carries them:

Most parts stores in the US can get Beck Arnley parts... they are a very common parts supplier.

Well I get off work in 10 minutes. I'll be going straight to the parts stores to see if they give me the right ones. I can tell just buy looking at it now haha. I have faith in Carquest. Oddly enough they have never given me the wrong part on anything, ever. I'll keep you guys posted.

did my pm not go through? I sent you a direct link for them being sold @ like 26 bucks each brand new from honda

ludesrv

Yes it did go thru and I thank you for it unfortunatly I cannot wait for the delivery time. I needed this car done like 3 weeks ago.

Carquest gave me the right ones. I love those guys. They actually know what there talking about and they have a full machine shop in the back to clean up heads and blocks.

Anyways, she's all fixed up and ready to rock. Still need to rip the tranny out and replace the throw out bearing and the release arm I beleive is bent. I'm getting fed up of those old hondas. Next car is definitly at least 10 years younger.

Very true. I know once I sell it I'll miss it. But having to deal with one off parts and honda discontinuation of parts. I don't think that's the route for me. Althought if the right CRX came along I'll trade the wagon in a heartbeat.
