I have a 1999 1500. After losing almost all breaking power I found a leak at the back passenger drum brake. Replaced the wheel cylinder inside but still have a fairly bad leak there. Is there anything else I can do to fix it? Will be taking it back apart to check the new cylinder but not very knowledgeable on drum brakes.

The only thing there at the wheel end is the wheel cylinder and the brake line that can leak. Make sure one of the wheel cylinder plungers didn't come out as well as the integrity of the flare on the end of the steel brake line where it attaches to the wheel cylinder.
