Brakes not adjusted after installing, air in the lines, leaking wheel cylinders not noticed and now have bled the fluid out, missed the brake shoe with the pin coming out of the wheel cylinder.
Just some thoughts, Steve

how do i adjust the shoes? i bled the lines and i checked the cylinders and they are not leaking. i'm thinking that it may just need adjustment because the old shoes were only half as thick and one lining on each side had come off!! and they still worked alright.
