i just installed new e-brake shoes in the rear, everything is all set up, except that it doesn't work, if i pull the e brake i can still push my car backwards, something is wrong and i can't figure it out, i've looked through my manual but i still can't figure it out, i adjusted my brake cable at the handle, cause i thought maybe it need to be tighted. but when u pull it up its goes up faily easy, ok when i was looking in my manual there is a spring called the tension spring it holds the two shoes together at the bottom it is near the adjuster , in the book the tension spring is on the back side of the adjuster holding the shoes, i put them on the front side when i did it, but i don't think it makes a difference because there is spots for either front or back but i don't know what the problem could be? could any one help me?

put it back the way it SHOULD be.
make sure the self adjuster is properly oriented, and greased so that it can work properly. and adjust it before you drop the car to the ground.
