Need Help With Rear Brakes On 05

[danmc00]

I got my rear drum brakes done yesterday. Turned them and new pads. Now my pedal has very little pressure. Have to push the brake pedal most of the way down to stop. What can I do to fix this?

Sounds like the rears are out of adjustment. Pull the drums off and adjust the shoes until with the drums back on there is a slight drag when you spin the drum. That should take care of the problem. ASE Certified tech 11 years and counting.
