I recently replaced all four front wheel cylinders and both sets of front shoes on my car but have not been able to get a firm brake pedal. The pedal goes about 2/3 of the way to the floor and feels soft. If the pedal is pumped once (or twice on occasion), it then immediately becomes firm. It will stop, but the softness makes doing so not very confidence inspiring.
The car has unassisted, twin leading shoe brakes and all four corners have been manually bled several times (by two people using the pump and hold method) to no avail.
There are no visible leaks or air bubbles showing up when the car is re-bled and the shoes have been readjusted several times, yet after doing so the pedal remains soft on application.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
