If the shoe adjustment doesn't do the trick, Make sure parking brake is off and try bleeding the system backwards with Mighty Vac. (Thus pushing the brake fluid up from the Wheel cylinder to the Master cylinder).

How's the brake shoe adjustment? When I do a brake job I always set the adjustment a little on the tight side so bleeding is easier & the brake shoes will wear in faster.

I adjust the brakes so that- at an idle in gear- wheels off the floor- the drive tires won't turn unless the gas pedal is slightly depressed.

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
