Rassen Frassen E- brake

[Andy D]

I have replaced all the brake parts from the backing plates out even the rear E- brake cables. I did tighten up the adjustments on the shoes but the E- brake barley grabs and does nothing at all in reverse. Do I just tighten up the shoes some more or did I screw some thing up? TIA

With the drums off & you kneeling down alongside the drivers side chassis and pull on the cable assembly under the drivers door do you actually see the drivers side shoes expanding & retracting?
