Adjust all the shoes tight to the drums and then see what you have as far as pedal travel and hardness. If it is spongy you still may have air in the system? You may want to bleed it with the drums still tight. I always use a pressure bleeder to get air out but still have to have a second person ( Wife ) and pump slowly and bleed to get the remaining air out. The best thing without a doubt is have the shoes ground to match drums. Also make sure shoe material is not so hard that you can not push your thumb nail in the edge of the shoe. I have found store bought shoes are too hard and do not have enough friction. I also draw X,s on the shoe face's to see how much contact you have the next time you remove the drums. I use an old fashion brake shop here in town and have them relined and ground. Casper Brake K.C. MO.
