Replaced drums, shoes. Soft pedal... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Got the rear brakes done (fronts were done just before I bought the car, I'd say). Everything is clean and lubricated with new hardware. At one point one of the pistons and return spring flew out and spilled some fluid. I think I may need to bleed. My pedal is very soft and goes almost to the floor.

When I was installing the new drums, I had to back the adjusters off quite a bit to fit the drum on due to the thicker friction material.

I'll bleed the system - if I can get the bleeder screws loosened (I haven't checked them yet). Then, I'll play with the adjusters. Is this the right sequence? Or should I adjust the adjusters first. Open to suggestions. Thanks.
