Another important operation when it comes to drum brakes is the importance =
of correctly adjusting the shoe "rest" pins. If these rests are not adjuste=
d so that the shoes are contacting the drums straight on it is impossible t=
o get a hard pedal.

On the drum brake front cars the front brakes must be de adjusted first=20
or you will probably never get all of the air out. It even says in the=20
BN1 manual to do this. This pushes the pistons home and reduces the air=20
in the wheel cylinders.
My method for doing it alone - attach about 6 feet of clear soft tube to=20
the bleeder screw. Put the tube up higher than the car ( over a step=20
ladder etc ) open the bleed screw slightly and slowly pump the pedal,=20
then see the fluid come up the tube and keep going until no air bubbles=20
are coming up though the fluid. Close the bleed screw and repeat on all=20
wheel. Works every time.
