Firstly you need to adjust the shoes correctly. to do this you need to wind up the shoe adjusted through a wheel bolt hole in the rear disc's. Adjust it untill it locks the disc then back it off 3 clicks so the wheel/ disc can turned. recheck the pedal, should be vasty improved.

It is much easier to do it with the wheel off. use a flat blade screw screw driver through the hole, it looks like a small toothed wheel inside the disc drum.
