+1 on that, correct rear shoe adjustment.
I have in a pinch way to bleeding brakes by myself, on a brand new system. Doing this after you investigate the proportioning valve issue if there is one. The guys have you pointed in the right direction.
I used the glass jar way of bleeding the system, but rather than using a mityvac. I pull up another good running vehicle with good manifold vacuum, and tapped into it for my vacuum source. It pulled the brake fluid through the brake system fast, only took a minute or so each bleeder. It helps that I live at sea level also.
Good luck with it. Ken
