help with brakes. fluid is going dripping out.
was working on bleeding the drivers rear brakes, and when i was pumping the brakes, fluid came out of here....
its looks like a rubber stopper or something of that nature. can i fix it? or did i need to get a new part? i figured i would have to take about the rear brake, which i have never done. gotta learn sometime tho

You will need a new wheel cylinder. They aren't much IIRC around $20. The spring on the parking brake arm looks twisted to heck... might want to fix that...

yea, it looks like the wheel cylinder needs to be replaced. if you're going to do your brakes...here's a pretty good write-up (i'm planning to do mine very soon as well) https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...-8-25-a-58947/
