[Spridgets] Brakes

[charles christ]

adjust the brake shoes .   if you are getting a soft pedal first push then a
hard pedal second push , it's transferring fluid from master to wheel
cylinders 
to expand the cylinders on first push to expand the shoes outward ,
the on 
second push actually compressing fluid once shoes make contact with
drums.   
test: pull on the emergency brake , then push the brake pedal.    
see if that 
improves the initial pedal "feel".    if it does it al in te shoe
adjustment and 
front adjustment will make it even better!  check your
adjusters for wear.   the 
early adjusters once worn back of adjustment very
easily some , will actually 
backoff when pumping the pedal sitting still in
the shop before the car even 
rolls out of the shop!
