brake felt much softer, and it sank slowly after I push it. Later dealer changed one drum, but brake still feels softer than before. what else should I check ?
Friend drove my corolla for 15miles with handbreak on.?
If they drove 15 miles i think they should have checked the wheel cylinders too. There was soo much heat they probbily ruined the seals in the cylinders. I would also check/ bleed the system. This happed to a customer of mine on a truck. I had to replace both drums, shoes and wheel cylinders.

The other drum. I am surprised they didn't change both drums so to keep even wear on them.
definitely replace both drums and shoes, have them adjusted as well...
They could have boiled the brake fluid and induced air in the brake line. That could explain the soft braking. If the dealer changed the brake, they should have bled the brakes and fixed that.
oops!!!! check the fuild leve it may leak now
probably just need to be adjusted. handbrake only operates the rear brakes. they should be self adjusting but it will take some time for it to adjust itself back where it needs to be. if it has drum brakes you can adjust it with a flat head screwdriver and it only takes a few minutes.
sounds like you need to get brake fluid changed, also rear wheel bearings/grease checked.
You should assume that to get this back right is your responsibillity as well! If you are placing all of this onto your warranty,then you should be a-shamed! S--t happens and now is the time to start a dialouge with your dealership. Your way of approaching things may not be in the best interests (long term relationships) of all the parties involved! To rectify the situation you must give honest insight to more than the actual damage,you must be willing to humble yourself to a level that includes honest investment. Investment into the township's future as a whole.
Rear Brake Job at %26quot;Friends Expense%26quot;, Cylinders, Lines (From the Soft, Spongy Feel), Etc. Caused by the Extreme Heat Caused by the E-Brake Being on while Driving!!
