E brake cable r and r

A while back My e brake cable was to tight, then it broke, I replaced it and it wasn't tight enough, I adjusted it as much as I could, still doesn't work the way it should, I had the part store check and it seems they sold me the right part, just seeing if anyone else has had this kind of problem.

You have adjusted your brake shoes if this vehicle has rear drum brakes ??

Rear shoes and drums in good working order??

Thanks Wyoming ,this is my 91, yes I adjusted out the brake shoes as much as I could, someone else mentioned some part relating to the e brake that may need some oil, I will give it another check.

Oil won't last long. In your environment you might need anti seize.

Time for new bell crank brackets steel pin through a aluminum bracket seizes fast.

Most times I end up cutting the bell crank free of the bracket with a cutting wheel

Clean up the Bell cranks .

New Pins

Never Seize use the e-brake all the time.
