Brake pressure lost or not enough

I always enjoy your stuff. Don't give up on us

 

Don't fret. Lots of folks have been helped by your great posts!

He's not the OP, just jumped in the thread with pretty much random chatter about his brakes.

@3roguen recommend you start your own thread, and give an outline of what has been done to your entire system. Your described symptoms barely correlate to each other, other than being part of the brake system.

And adjust the rear shoes per the specs @Jimmyh posted. We'll assume at the moment that all the moving parts in the rear are properly installed, cleaned and lubricated, and that the drum faces are in good condition.

PS, your jerk to the right is more likely a caliper issue than a line issue. Either the right is grabbing too soon or the left is too late. Meaning one of them is binding.
