The Ford Barn

I think I know the answer to this question but...

If my "friend"

were to have left off a rear drum while bleeding the brakes because he wanted to make sure both shoes were moving properly. Would the brake pedal ever get hard? And would the rear shoe have issues moving since the front shoe was now over extended?

Thanks
Jason

Yes and no. They move independently.

Methinks he would have no brakes

You always adjust the brakes with all the drums on the car.
Otherwise, you are wasting your time and brakes will never work.
