Thanks Duodeluxe for the reply. I have done all of the items you indicated. Wow! That is the most work I have had to put into a brake job. Everything is replaced from the master on down. Master cyl, all tubes, slaves, seals and shoes.

These brakes have an adjuster that can only be adjusted by opening up the whole brake chamber (all of the work you noted). I see no place for external adjustment. If I tighten up the shoes and much as I can and put the drum back on, for some reason I cannot get enough brake pressure to get the brakes to work. I can get them to tighten enough where I can't spin them by hand but that is not enough and the peddle never goes solid. I bled the system of air. It is almost as though I can't pump enough fluid with the master to press the shoes solid.

If anyone knows of a trick i missed or a secret adjustment method. Maybe there is a secret air reservoir that regular bleeding will not get to and I need to vacuum bleed these. Thanks.
