Orient the e brake toggle levers so that they both angle towards the e brake control arm and the brake rods do not bind. Adjust the e brake rods so that the e brake is barely released. In other words, take the slack out of the linkage. They should pull the same on both sides. The e brake band will self center in the brake drum, and should turn freely when released and grab hold when applied.
