a very good thing to buy is a pressure bleeder put some brake fluid in the pot screw adaptor onto reservoir and attach hose to tyre with 20psi in, all you need to do is go round the bleed nipples and unscrew them the pressure from the tyre forces everylast bit of air out and crap and there not very expensive mine was £20 from machine mart and have used it over 50 times on various vehicles, worth every penny and is very good at diagnosing faulty calipers cause if you dont get much oil through with the pressure bleeder on then the piston isnt retracting to let the oil through so rebuild or replacement of caliper required

just a very good tool for a small price

mine failed for the exact same thing, replaced both wheel cylinders and it passed with flying colours.

after renewing the rear drum brakes both sides, whip the centre console off and check that the adjusting bolt is not tightened to max as this means you are at the end of the cable and it could be over stretched. you should be able to click 7-8 clicks before the handbrake is fully under load any more than this then the handbrake might not be under load and the vehicle could roll any less than 7 you could be stretching the cable.
