Wheel cylinder help

Alright, do i REALLY have to pull the axle to get the wheel cylinder out? Is there a better way to do this? I wont come out between the backing plate and the axle flange, anyone one else done this?

NO YOU DONT HAVE TO PULL THE AXLE!!!!...dont listen to anybody that told you that..lol...it'll take a little bit of time...but trust me..it will come out...i thought i was going to have to pull my axles too...but i didnt...it just takes some time..and a rubber mallet...and patience..it took me 2days to finally get mine out..(my attitude was gettin the best of me on the first day so i quit workin on it after 3 or 4 hours) the new ones went in NO PROBLEM..just keep workin at em..they'll come out..of course we were doing all new brakes in the rear..so everything was out except the wheel cylinders..which is how i got mine out...so just keep workin at it..they'll come out

You have to remove bleeder screw and then it will wiggle out, as well as the other brake crap
