parking brake problems
Hi guys, I hope someone can give me some help with this problem. I have a 96 with a 5.2 and the rear drum is 9" x 2.5"
I went to get it inspected (passed last year) and the parking brake does not hold the truck. Their mechanic said it was worn brake pads so I bought new pads and had the drums turned to clean them up. I put everything back just as it came out but there was no improvement at all in the parking brakes holding power. I tightened the adjuster on the cable up by the transmission but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas? Does anybody have a brake assembly diagram that I could look at to be sure all the parts are in right?
Thanks for any ideas you have.

after adjusting the cable did you check it again to see if it stretched? i know mine did that and hung down so low that it dragged on the ground.
