I replaced the rear wheel cylinders and shoes on my 87 Bronco II. I had leaking axle seals so I replaced the seals, bearings and axles. After bleeding all 4 wheels and adjusting out the rear shoes I gave it a test drive. I have a good hard pedal but when I apply the brakes for a hard stop the car comes to a slow stop. During the hard stop the pedal feels hard and does not bottom out but the brakes just coast to a stop when they should stop aggressively. Also, I replaced the vacuum booster trying to fix the problem and it didn't help. I was wondering what the small vacuum valve is on the brake pedal. It seams to close when the pedal is released and when the pedal is pressed down you can hear a hiss at the valve. It popped out when I was installing the new booster so I was wondering how to adjust it. What do I need to do to get the brakes to work correctly? Richard
