Brake Pedal Goes to Floor

[Dr_Snooz]

Problem solved... I decided to replace both of the rear wheel cylinders since the front tires would slide when pressing the brakes really hard but the rear wheels did not, which told me that something was wrong there. I also replaced the rear brake shoes and the pedal is firm now. Is it usual for the car to take time to completely stop since there's new brakes in the back?

Thanks.

If you got oil on the new shoes, the first few stops will take longer until it burns off. One example of oil contamination would be if you had the drums turned. The residual cutting oil left on the drums would contaminate the shoes. Also, if you got a lot of greasy fingerprints on the braking surface of the drums while you had them off, it would contaminate the shoes. If there's no oil to explain it, then you might need to do some more investigating.

you have to initially set the new shoes through the star wheel adjuster, I hope you replaced all the hardware, the auto adjuster usually comes with the springs in the kit, they should be replaced anyway. did you pull the ebrake a number of times? every time you do the adjuster should ratchet outwards until it's adjusted, b ut you still need to make the initial adjustment of the star wheel through the slot in the backing plate, the drums should barely drag when it's adjusted correctly
