The brakes on this van were hard to press from the time we bought it. To stop takes an incredible amount of force applied to the brake. Figuring that it needed to be bled, I just bled all 4 brakes. The driver side rear drum did have air in it, but even after completely bleeding the entire thing, it's still hard to press. Any thing else I may need to try?
Flush the old fluid out and replace it.
Checking whether the power assist is working?
That's pretty much what happened while bleeding. The old fluid was jet black, by the time I was finished bleeding, I had run through a quart and a half of fresh fluid. The fluid was coming out clear at that point.
I'll check the power assist.

Push the brake pedal moderately hard and hold it. Now start the car.
Does the pedal sink once the car starts?

I'll try it when I get home.
