Just did my brakes on my 64 catalina. Since it was my first time i had Car-X here in minneapolis take a look. The wheel cylinders had to be replaced. But now the cars pulls to the left when braking. They said they adjusted it a couple of times to try and get rid of it and maybe it could be the way the shoes are setting with the drums and to drive for a while to see if it corrects itself. My questions is would that acutally work? I replaced all the shoes and springs on both front and back. Any advice would be cool. thanks

did your car pull before brake job? assuming all air has been bled and shoes are installed correctly i would check your rubber hoses. they have a tendency to swell inside kind of like a clogged artery. one wheel cyl gets more pressure causing stronger braking and pulling to that side. good luck.
