So I replaced both emergency brake cables on my '01 and I cannot seem to get them adjusted properly 
While I did the cables I also cleaned up the guides, pads, and reset (rewound) the caliper. Started the car and pumped the brake pedal about 10 times to reset the caliper to the pads again. E-Brake was off during this time.
Issue: What is happening is the right rear side cable will tighten up about 1/2 before lever stop point and the tire will not rotate
The left side cable bottoms out on the e-brake lever stop and the tire rotates with minimal new drag. With the e-brake off, if I try and push down on the right rear lever it will budge some but with resistance. The left rear lever is easily pushed to the lever stop bar without any resistance
When looking at the compensator the left side cable skews way ahead to the left, where as the right side cable stay back and square.
Any tips as to what I am doing wrong here?
