[Terry M. Hunt]

I think I just did not have the shoes adjusted far enough out to begin with. So much so that the auto adjusters could not compensate during the relatively low number of times driving back and forth that I attempted to get the auto adjust to solve my low pedal problem. During the second go round, I adjusted the shoes out further than before. This resulted in more drag on the drum when rotating it by hand, but not so much that excessive heat was being generated, etc while driving. It’s hard to describe “how much is enough” on this step because it’s kind of subjective and based more on “feel, educated guess, and trial and error”. From that point, the auto adjusters had little or no adjustment left to make to move the shoes out further so the pedal travel returned to normal. That’s my theory based on all the other stuff I investigated, tried, etc.
