I replaced the brake cylinder on the left rear and now it pulls to the left hard when braking. I have adjusted all the brakes but to no avail. Can a rear brake shoe cause it to pull left and if so, what could cause it?
Thanks for any advice you can give me to correct it. I bled all the air out of the lines twice because I thought air could cause it to pull to one side

Pulling normally is a indication of brake fluid or grease on opposite side.

Check to see if the bore size is the same between the one you put on and the one you took off . If you happened to put one on with a bigger bore it will do what you describe here . Ever wonder why some hydraulic cylinders have bigger jackets than others ? PS " wheel cylinder " on a 34 ????
