if you mean the pedal isn't as stiff as it was, you still have air in the lines and you have to bleed them again, most cars have certin order you have to bleed them in most times it is the RR, LR, RF, LF. any parts shop can tell you. 2 you might have the adjustment on the drum loose. after you adjust them you should hear the pad pushing on the drum as you turn it, but not so tight you have to fight to get it off.

How do you fix siezed brakes?
If the brakes are disc brakes then try opening the bleed screws on the calipers and see if the pressure releases if not then remove the calipers and replace because the piston is probably frozen or you can try pushing in the piston with a c-clamp,if that doesnt work replace the calipers as noted. If the brakes are drum brakes then check your brake cylinders to see if they are leaking if so you can usually rebuild them if not then replace them and bleed your brake system to get brakes back to normal, you can also make sure your drum brakes are adjusted correctly.
