adjusted the brake bias valve? might be trying to brake more at the rear (which is on drums in your case!)

Your valve is on your caliper. make sure you have your foot to the deck on pedal when opening so you dont let any air back in. Also work for furthest break from cylinder. Should be Drivers rear (i think) backwards.

Drivers rear, then passenger rear, passenger front, drivers front. That's the way i've always known.
