Brake Cylinder Question
 
Ok this might be a dumb question but are the wheel brake cylinders interchangeable from left to right side? My front brake hoses are too short when I crank the wheels all the way so I was just going to switch them around so the angle of the hose coming out of the cylinder would take the pressure off.

Go on RockAuto. See if they offer two different ones. Let us know so if someone has the same question, you've already answered it here.

Are you sure they are installed correctly? From the phot i would assume they had been swapped side to side.

When the hoses come in at an angle, there is a difference between left & right. The catalogs list them that way.

Yeah they're on correct. They said Front left and Front right on the boxes so I know they're right. I think they'll be ok- they don't pinch when I crank the wheel but they get kinda tight. I double checked my brake lines too thinking maybe I got the wrong ones but they were right too. I guess it's just going to be weird that way.
