I am serious.

At that point, you should have pedal pressure without having to pump. That will prove your hydraulic system is working.

Then loosen your wheel cylinders one by one, note pedal drop, and make adjustments accordingly. You should have full pressure with 1" of travel when you are done.

So the multiple pumps are to fully seat shoes that are much too far from the drum surfaces (or at least one side or the other)? I assumed the shoes were adjusted. I feel stupid now...
