Re: dumb brake bleeding question

I just went thru a whole brake bleeding experience. After going thru the system numerous times; finding some small leaks and checking everything about four times I still had a weird pedal feel. The brakes worked but felt weak and if I gave them one pump they worked great. Turned out I needed to adjust out my rear shoes to get them closer to the drums. They were adjusted initially but after stomping on the brakes and a few miles they needed this readjustment. I now have great pedal and the truck stops very well. Manual system, by the way. Something to check if you are finished with everything else.
