    Somehow, someway, air did get into my wheel cylinders when I did nothing other then replace the brake shoes. I have no idea how, but it did. I have 3 witnesses. :)

    man, jamies lucky. my grandfather didnt tell me that trick till after i was in my late 20s. course my dad always did the two person way. told him the trick and he is determined that air can get back in past the threads(stubborn). it definately works quicker and easier than the two man method.

    So do speed bleeders (they have check valves in them).
