July 22, 200619 yr With Drum Brakes rear. I replaced the drums but not the shoes. The shoes looked OK the drums weren't bad either just a lot of external corrosion. Had a helper gently press the brakes and the shoes move OK. Replaced the front pads. The calipers seem fine and I was able to press the two pistons back using just my thumbs. The sliders slide fine. I still have a low brake pedal. Although the brakes work fine, the pedal goes down about half way before getting a bite. I backed the car up and pressed the brakes to activate the self-adjusters, didn't help. Is there a rod on the brake pedal leading to the master cylinder? Should this need adjustment? I didn't bleed the brakes but it is probably due for a flush. The power unit seems to be working fine. What else should I be checking for this? Thanks Much.
