Agree with Dave, in a hydraulic system all the space has to be
taken up before pressure will build. You may have something
hanging up back there.
If you back the shoes of to much you're going to have a low
pedal. As I mentioned earlier, the shoes just need to clear
the drum. And that is a better judge of the clearance than
trying to judge a click on the adjuster. I often find with
Huck brakes that once the shoes are lapped in and making full
contact, that backing off only three notches per shoe is
enough. They are not going to get any tighter, the shoes
won't expand, the drums will, just common sense.
