Re: break problem
You will for sure have to bleed your lines after. When you let out fluid it is replaced with air. No fluid, no hydrollic pressure allowing you to move the cylinder without resistance. Presto! Making installing new shoes a breeze! I almost always bleed the system when I repair shoes anyways for both easy install and good servicing!

Re: break problem
make sure the shoes are pushed together at the wheel cyl. (cyl pins are pushed into the cyl all the way) you can do this with your hands.
