I had to make a short brake spoon from flat stock to fit between the spring and the wheel on the top adjusters. found all 4 rear adjusters stuck. I took the rear drums off one at a time and freed the adjusters and the shoes had plenty of life left. It look like someone re shoed the back brakes and never ran the adjusters out. The rear wheel cylindes I could hear but took many pumps to get any pedal. Well, I ran the adjusters out till they stopped the drum turning then backed them off about 1 turn. I also adjusted the fronts which are 5/8 cap screws. No cylinders or master cyl is leaking at all. I got pedal now if I pump 3-4 times now. Brakes are still quite insufficient to stop this truck and they stick till you get going again. The brake booster vacum is strong at idle and the return line only sucks air if the brakes are pushed making me think the booster diapram is OK. What would you recommend next, I need to get these brakes at least half way beacuse I have a man with a CAT 955 loader coming to demolish a house Saturday and I need this truck to haul it off. thanks!!!!! !!!

TV is correct!
I would ad that air in the lines always feels mushy, even if there is brake happening after pumping. If after pumping, and holding, the pedal feels stiff, then there is little air in the system. It can take what seems to be a massive amount of bleeding to get the air out. Use a rubber hose from the bleeder into a jar with the end of the hose submerged in BF.
Then pump till new fluid comes out (filling the res as needed to prevent pumping in more air)
I hope this helps

I have found that all the pump bleeding that one can do till he is blue in the face most times on a juice brake system on a truck you can not move enough brake fluid this way to remove all the air and the best way is a power bleeder .

I agree but he might get the results needed without going to the trouble of hunting one up to fit the MC. JimN

You backed them off to far and only back off for the wheel to turn with just a wisker of drag . I am guessen that you have two adjusters on each rear wheel and from tight you should only have to back off three to five clicks each , it is a sorta feel thing . Try that and see what ya got.
