Hey - got my new shoes and wheel cyls on -- what a headache.
On bleeding the cylinders -- how many bleed cycles should I expect to have to go through to get all the air out? After 4 or 5 I got steady fluid but the pedal still feels pretty spongy.
On top of that -- If I pull the hand brake while moving I'm getting very little stopping power - some, but not much. In drive at idle I can't hold the car still with the hand brake.
Is this going to improve as the shoes seat?
Yes, I cleaned the drum and shoe friction surfaces with brake cleaner.
