HELPBrake cylinder replacement

I am trying to replace my rear driverside brake cylinder on a 77 f150. i removed all the springs, shoes, cable. I also removed the two bolts on the back where the brake line goes into the backing plate. The problem is that i cant seem to get the brake cylinder to come off. Does anyone have any sugestions? thanks in advance
David

Most of the time they are rusted to the backing plate, it's a snug fit. The wheel cylinder has a boss that fits into a hole in the plate. Just give it a few raps with a hammer to free it up and it should come right out. Good Luck !
