    Is there any way to make my brakes tighter? I know the rear drums can be adjusted but it still dosent feel too tight. Bleed them too any way they can be adjusted? Maybe in pedal?

    Adjusting the drums will not make them stronger. The only option you have is to get a membership here.

    I assume you mean to achieve a higher pedal ?? CK the front brake caliper mounting slides , bushings & pad brackets., If they are rusted up & seized this will cause the caliper to not adjust, causing a low pedal.. If you are in a salt belt this is a major problem. IF you can pump the brakes 1 time and the pedal is higher this is the problem...Can't tell where you are from !!
