I'm not sure if this will help or not but here goes.I'm about a week ahead of you in your problem.I had very little pedel if any and I guess I bleed about 3 qts of fluid until early one morning it finally hit me,the wheel cylinders are doing there job,its just that the shoes are not reaching the drums simply because I had not adjusted them PROPERLY.So I removed the wheels,then the drums and found out only one half of the shoe was touching(bairly) one the front left and oposite shoe was touching on the other side.The wheel cylinders exert equal pressure on the shoes so BOTH shoes need to be adjusted equally.I have a 46 1.5 ton and I'm glad this portion is done.
