i got them semi stiff yesterday, but as soon as i was on the road they started up again,

i have the rear shoes adjusted , would the wheel cylinders leak oil if they are sucking air? what can i do to fix the problem, i pump the brakes when im comming to a stop, they dont grab at all.how much is the min thickness of the drum wall? i am pumping the brake peddle 10x then holding it then my son would open the valve and the peddle goes to the floor, so your saying try not to push the peddle to the floor when my son opens the valve, right!! yes only one wheel the passenger side is the only one still giving up air. is there a possibility that the gasket on the master cylinder lid could be sucking air?
