Be sure you bleed from the top bleeder on the calipers...

Tighten the shoes. They have to be close. I even let new shoes run as they go around.

Like Billy said ..... You need to adjust the drum brakes out where they are close? Also on the dics bleed from the top bleader. Start at the back passenger.

I forgot you had disk. I know nothing about them. There is an adjustment on the rod that goes from break to master cylinder. You can make it shorter or longer to give you more or less pedal.

I have the same setup ,,, he should not have to adjust the push rod. Do you have a dual master cylinder?.. If so was it working good before?
