e-brake doesnt work as it should.., need some help Options

[diegohiga]

After doing a drum to disc convertion i realized my ebrake doesnt brake the car as it used to.
The first problem was that the e-brake handle used to go up too much when i pull it. Fixed by adjusting it by the center console.
By adjusting that i thought i was gonna fix the problem but it didnt.
The car brakes with the e-brake but it still mooves when i push it hard. Whats wrong?

start by raising the car from the rear and try turning each wheel to see if they actually lock. this way you might be able to see which side (if not both) isn't working.

i'm currently have the same issue and it turns out the driver-side cable snapped somewhere inline while the passenger side was still functioning 100%. even though it feels there's tension in the cable when i pull the e-brake handle, only one side is engaging and it isn't enough to hold the car from a slight incline.
