Here are a few pictures of how it sits.... I added the original adjuster thinking that it may be shorter... It wasn't.

Re: E-Brake problems. please help!
Every thing looks good. Have you loosened the cable adjustment? It's under the console but looking at the pics it doesn't look tight.

Re: E-Brake problems. please help!
It may just be that those e-brake shoes are slightly larger than they should be.
Have you looked if there is a lip on the inside of the parking brake drum/rotor? That may be causing the rotor to go back on smoothly.
