Just fitted some new shoes & cylinders on the new escort. Everything seems fine, the adjusters seemed to adjust ok after (a few pumps on the peddel & the peddle is now higher than before). The only problem is that it doesn't hold on a hill as good as it used to. My drive is quite steep & I have to yank it on quite hard to get it to stay ok. Could they just need bedding in, like I say they seem fine except for this, or could there be a problem. When jacking up the car to test, both sides seem to operate equally with the handbrake.
