I have a 98 ford explorer and have replace the shoes and cables to my parking brake. after assembly the brake pedal does not return all the way. I have checked my work and seems fine. is possible that the torsion spring is bad and I have to replace the pedal assembly.

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the stock 95-01 section. Did you make any adjustments to the cable assembly?

 

[dbegin]

There is no way to adjust the cable that I know of. The manual even states there is no cable adjsutments bacause the torsion spring is supposed to take up the slack on the cable.

Were the new cables the same length as the old ones?
