[T3] brake trouble


well, I just got done replaceing my rear brake cyl that was leaking. all
went pretty well I think. I got the new cyl in and put the shoes back
on, they looked ok. I had some trouble getting the drum on I had to take
the adjusters almost all the wqay in, but thought that was normal. I got
the wheel back on and tried to adjust the brakes. no matter how far I
turned the adjusters either way they would not stop dragging. one way
locked the wheels and the other never stopped dragging. it also looked
like the shoes were not staying put, sometime when I spun the wheel one
way it would turn (with drag) and the other way would lock, like the
shoes were teetering. could I have the wrong cyl that has an incorrect
size or something?

I decided to stop that and bleed the rear two and come back to it.
bleeding went well as well with no more bubbles coming through. but when
I went for a test drive, it still took about two pumps to get pressure.
did I not get it? do I need to bleed the front as well? need help
