Re vent. Can you insert a bolt from the inside through it then improvise a puller using its threads and a spacer and nut on the outside?
Make sure the rears are adjusted properly and make sure the brakes are good and bled, all 4 corners. Brake fluid is an overly neglected fluid and makes a noticeable difference in pedal feel.
Yeah, with drum brakes their is always going to be a little bit of "spring" in the system, it's just the nature of them.Just doesn’t have that “firm” feel that newer brakes have.

Sometimes it's a bit hard to visualize , but with drums you're trying to force a small circle, (the shoes,) into a larger circle, (the drums,), and the shoes actually flex under the forces of the hydraulics and the camming action.
In the old days a brake shop would "cam grind" the shoes so that they made full and better contact, but nobody wants to be grinding linings today because of the dangerous dust that is produced.
You do the best you can and call it good.
Also, no matter the efforts and amounts of brake fluid used, the Chevy dealer has always done the best bleeding job, really forcing new fluid thru the whole system under pressure has many benefits instead of endless pedal pumping,, it's money well spent.
If you want it to stop, do a hydroboost swap. My trucks will lock tires at interstate speeds.
