[Vwdiesel] Rear brake trouble?

[Tom Wandel]

I just replaced the rear shoes, springs, brake cables, wheel cylinders, and
wheel bearings on my 81 p/u. Bled the brakes no problem. I had to adjust the
e-brake all the way out at the lever to get it to feel right. That doesn't
seem right to me. With new shoes, I shouldn't have to adjust it out so far.
Is it necessary to somehow adjust the brakes when they are new? I know that
the drums are worn some, but not out of spec. I ordered the shoes for the
200mm drums and I "assume" they are correct. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Tom
