There was no air left. I went to replace the shoes on the other side and decided it would probably be a good idea to replace the wheel cylinder over there also. Again, no air. Now here is the problem. The emergency brake doesn't hold and the pedal is soft, like the rear brakes are not working. Do I need to pull the drums and adjust the parking brake, re-bleed the rear, or both? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> [color:"blue"]Carey[/color][b] [b][color:"red"]89 SR5 Extended Cab 4X4 V6 [/color][color:"blue"]Don't forget to pay your taxes......

I went out and adjusted the shoes and now have good pedal and brakes. That was next on the list last night but I just ran out of daylight and energy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> [color:"blue"]Carey[/color][b] [b][color:"red"]89 SR5 Extended Cab 4X4 V6 [/color][color:"blue"]Don't forget to pay your taxes......
