    More than welcome to come here Steve, I did a complete brake build on a Land Rover in the 70s and spent 3 hours with 4 helpers with no pressure,went home and in the morning a full peddle !!!!! It will be something simple but not obveous. You will find it. Try taking the front drums off and clamp the cylinders,just to stop them moving and carefully try the peddle,if its ok its the shoe operation. You have the patients of a saint. JW
