Well I cant speak for a Power Wagon but I am doing the rear wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder as I type this on my old 1974 D200 Dana 60. I just came in for a break and a sandwich for supper at 9pm and started this project at 1pm today.

Replaced both rear cylinders. 1 of them came apart causing the problem. It MADE A SERIOUS MESS inside the drum. Be prepared for major cleaning. Decided as long as the system was open I'd replaced the other one also. Started to turn the brake line and it would not budge. Started to round the nut so I decided I better go buy a line wrench. Drove and bought line wrench. Got home and ended up rounding it off trying to get it out. Ended up cutting brake line to get old cylinder out. Another trip to the parts store for a new brake line. Home again to bend and tweak the new line across to the other side where it goes. Just got it done and got the other wheel thats bad opened up to a nasty mess. About to finish this message and supper and back out to the garage. Hope to have it all back together tonight and bleed tomorrow.

Be prepaired for unexpected things like lines or maybe bearings or brake shoes, springs and so forth that are broke.
