After much toil and many dollars I have rear brakes.I saw some info in another post but cannot find it now. It concerned the proper "feel" of the brake pedal.After bleeding it has a firm feel with no noticeable leakage or leakdown from the pedal. The pedal goes down about two thirds of the complete travel length and is firm.I have a new hydrovac,wheel cylinders, and lines from the rebuilt master cylinder aft. Is this correct? I adjusted the new shoes correctly on lightly turned hubs.When should I readjust after waiting for the new shoes to "seat"?
I can relate to the person who said he was spending his kids inheritance.So far its running about 100.00 a week!

Thanks,
JMH

Well give yourself a brake and have someone pat you on the back.
After you wear down the high spots on those new shoes and re-adjust hopefully the pedal travel will become less.
