the push rod is perfect so thats not the issue, i cheked that today and the rear drums should be fine, if anything they may be too far adjusted out cause even when pushing the car it seems like the brakes are on a little (no handbrake and in netural obviously) so you rekn it could possibly be that the rear brakes are basically already on and the pedal doesnt travel far cause of this? but then why would they been out of adjustment like that cause i havent messed with them for ages like before the blue car was smashed, doesnt make sense to me
