HELP HANDBRAKE, WONT HOLD CAR Options

[firedream37]

HI, Im new to this site so not sure on some slang words you use lol (rotor?????)
Straight to the point, put new handbrake cable on passenger side as old one had seized and burnt out my shoes, so I changed the shoes on both sides. Problem I have now is no matter how I adjust the each drum and the h/brake cable at the h/brake the brakes wont hold the car from going backwards, it holds it going forwards but not back. Im not a newbe to this type of car, its my fourth celica, 2nd Gen 6, the best model ever!!! I have a repair Manuel which is american but still very good, I have followed all it says in there with no result.Im no thicko when it comes to cars but this has stumped me and I dont want to through my money towards Mr T who charges far to much lol.

PLEASE HELP ME, THANKS

the e-brake handle should be down when adjusting the sprocket. when i did mine, i had the handle down, and the sprocket turned and adjusted just enough that i was able to fit the brake discs back on (if you turn it too much, the brake shoes are extended out too far to put the discs or rotors back on... too little, and it will take more clicks with raising the e-brake handle to engage the e-brake) it was so close that i felt the brake shoes rub against the brake disc when putting it on... and with that setup i get a pretty good lock on the e-brake at 3 clicks while a normally working system is 4-7 clicks with the handle. maybe yours just isn't gripping hard enough??

btw, make sure to grease up every joint or connection and every moving object in there because the e-brake system usually fails because a component has seized. that's how mine went bad.

other than that, i'm stumped as to why it will hold from going forward but not backwards...
