Default Wheel Cylinders

does anyone know if the 2002 3500's came with 4wheel disk brakes? i know my 02 2500 did just didnt know if the 3500's did. also any secrets or special tool made to crack open the wheel cylinders on a 95 3500 without breaking them off? theres not much room between the leaf springs and the back of the drum to get my big hands in there and i need to run new brake line and bleed them.

if its rusty, get a deep well socket that fits over them, soak them in your choice of penetrating oil, i prefer thrust, then put the deep well over them wack all around it with a hammer and they should loosen right up, thats how i have always done it and never broke one off yet

If the brakes still work, just pull all the lug nuts off but a couple and leave them on loose. Put the truck in gear to get the wheels rollin and hit the brakes. The brakes will push the drums off. Just make sure you leave a few nuts on though or you will be chasin em down the street.
