Hi all Ive just replaced my rear brake cylinders on my corsa B 20xe Ive bleed all 4 corners starting furthest away from brake servo and working my way towards it with each corner all air seems to be out. brakes do work and do lock up but there is to much travel in the pedal way more than there was before i changed the rear cylinders. is there anything i can try/do to make the pedal better? 
 
cheers

Did you adjust the rear shoes up so the drum is snug on the shoe when you put the drum back on? 
 
99% that will be your problem.

As above has said but if you have done that when fitting then they may just want bedding in so just give them a few days.New shoes old drums or just replaced cylinders?

Good that you have got it fixed now,there is nothing worse than a fault that you can`t find.
