After doing rotors, pads and brake shoes, the e-brake on passenger side is acting up:
It binds up much sooner in the reverse direction than the forward direction when adjusting the cog wheel at the rotor.
Also in general, it does seem more "sticky" on the forward direction compared to drivers side.
I have tried adjusting it up, but if there is to be any brake effect, the shoes will drag resulting in overheating.

Bell cranks move OK, double checked that all springs are connected, all seems OK. All is greased up including the brake shoe touch points on the backing plate.
Everything can be moved freely.
I have noticed, that there is hardly any movement in the front most brake shoe when pulling the cable, while the rear most brake show has a lot of movement.

I know e-brake subject has almost been beaten to death, but I haven't found the problem yet?
