brake pedal needs pumping

Lol, yeah, you need to adjust them up manually. Jack the rear up so you can spin the wheel, adjust just until you hear/feel slight contact. (Then step on the pedal and adjust till contact again) and keep doing it little at a time until you step on the pedal and still have a slight contact after.
Stepping on the pedal centers the shoes and gives more you can adjust out.

Also when bleeding, I don't like the pedal to go hard against the floor. I use a small half inch thick piece of plywood under the pedal to keep it off the floor, as the wife is usually operating the pedal.


You did bleed, in this order, left rear, right rear, right front, left front, yes??

You'll get it.
