Do the '55 Clipper and other 55ths share the same wheel cylinders? I've been looking all over for a right front and finally found one, but the site states it's for a Patrician and will not fit a Clipper. I'm currently unable to get the bleeder screw out of the original unit, stopping me from rebuilding it.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

According to the parts book, it depends on if it's front or rear, 1.023

All the front wheel cylinders are the same, except commercial chassis, 51-56.

Don't buy them off some website. If there is the slightest problem it turns into a Problem. Just go to NAPA and order 18290 left and 18291 right. The are so cheap you might as well just get a pair rather than screw around with old ones.

I will continue to look around locally. I have the other 3 cylinders, but nobody had the RF in stock. I'll stop and see if the can order one for me.
