Re: Drum brake question
Does it give you the sensation that the brakes have been released or does it roll further than you feel it should? Have you inspected the each corner yet?

Re: Drum brake question
is there any usable brake shoe material inside the drums to cause the brakes to stop anything

Re: Drum brake question
Go get a master cylinder. It sounds like its bleeding down. Have you tried a second pump to rebuild pressure?

Re: Drum brake question
Well I don't want you to crumple it trying to figure out whats wrong but if you feel comfortable enough to test it then do so. When it does it, pump the brake again and see if it builds pressure and stops. From what I gather so far, the master is the problem .
