Have you checked the adjustment of the shoes? Also check to make sure the drums aren't worn beyond maximum size and need replaced. The shoes retract and then need to travel out to the drum when the pedal is pushed.

: Hey all, I have been exchanging emails with
: Dan and Craig (Thanks a ton guys) about an
: issue with the brakes on my 170. I am
: unable to get a firm pedal. I have replaced
: the master cylinder (bench bled before
: installing), replaced all 4 wheel cylinders
: and all rubber lines. I have bled the lines
: 8 or 10 times starting in the pass rear to
: drivers rear to pass front and then drivers
: front. I have my son pump until the pedal
: is firm and hold down. I open the bleeder
: valve and close it before it stops flowing.
: The last 5 or 6 times, I have gotten no air
: out of the lines, but the pedal is still
: soft. I have checked all the connections
: and there aren't any leaks along the way.
: I'm a little frustrated and would appreciate
: any suggestions.
