I just replaced my front bearings (requiring removal of the calipers)
and my rear brake shoes.  When I went to test drive the car the pedal
went almost to the floor and then slowly stopped the van.  I followed
the Bentley exactly on the rear drum adjustment.  I even tightened the
adjusters until there was drag on the drums then backed off a couple
clicks.  The emergency brake works great as well.  The system was never
opened in the front or rear so what is going on?  If I pump the pedal
the travel is greatly reduced and it firms up to stop the vehicle.  It
also doesn't appear to sink after pumping until the next time I go to
brake.  I am leaving for a trip tomorrow and have no clue what is going
on?

 

HELP!
