Why are my drum brakes not building pressure?
The brake shoes on drum brakes need to be adjusted properly before you can successfully bleed the brakes. If you don’t, air may still be trapped, and you will not be able to build brake pressure. Note that this only applies with drum brakes, not disc brakes. Do this on all brake shoe adjusters, one at the time.
