rear wheel cylinders
Is it hard to replace these?? I was having some crazy noise come from the rear wheels and they told me these needed to be replaced. Also the clutch slave cylinder was leaking and dripping down my clutch pedal.. I got a quote to replace all this for $303 and some change.. Thought i could save myself some cash and do it myself..

They are pretty easy, the hardest part is dealing with the corrosion and getting the line part. Aisan(factory oem) rear wheel cylinders are about $31 a side. If your going to do the clutch hydraulics, you might consider doing both clutch slave and master cylinder, both are pretty inexpensive($160 for both, Aisan).
It helps to have someone else with you to pressure bleed the system out. Make sure to have flare wrenches for the lines, without them, you might strip the fittings. Otherwise, both tasks are quite simple.
regards

Before you jump into replacing the wheel cylinders pull the drums off and check them.
See if they are leaking, or frozen up.

Replacing them isn't difficult, biggest hassle is bleeding the system afterwards, but with a helper or power bleeder it's easier.

If it's dripping down your pedal, it's your master cylinder.
