Check the spec on the drum per the Bentley (don't have one handy right now).
  For what ever reason (I suspect crappy self-adjuster/mount design) the
rears are VERY sensitive to excess diameter.  This will manifest itself as a
soft pedal.  If you adjust them up until they feel "tight" then the shoes
will contact the drums at an odd angle, drag, overheat and provide NO
braking.  BTDT - problem went away with new drums.
