Tom, Did you follow the brake adjustment procedure in the service manual? Did you adjust the cams all 4 wheels? The rears have a different cam movement than the front. Adjust the cams until they rub lightly on the drum, don't back it off. This is the way I've done it on my 300G for years and results in the highest pedal. Of course there could be other issues like air in the lines or mushy flex lines, you did replace those, right? Sounds like you did not change the shoes, so arcing shouldn't be a problem. If you are using DOT 5 fluid, and you do a lot of agitation of the fluid during the process, tiny air bubbles can form, so those have to work out. I been running DOT 5 for over 30 years so I know it works well, but it does have a tendency to develop tiny air bubbles that need to rise out over time if the fluid is shaken.

Subject: Bleeding brakes My rear brakes were starting to lock up when I applied the brakes while coming to a stop. I replaced the master cylinder and rebuild the rear brake cylinders. Now that I've bled the brakes, or at least I thought, the brake pedal is going all the way to the floor. Any suggestions? Thanks to any and all responses in advance!
