Open tool box, find the problem.
First determine if in fact what I'm suggesting is the problem, then it will become clear how to solve it. When you make modifications, there are usually other modifications/adjustments necessary for everything to be happy. You know the brakes seem to be dragging, so systematically eliminate possible reasons why.Richard

Very true. One mod leads to 2 or 3 others (or more!) in order to make that first one to work. Virtual house o'cards!

I'm pretty sure i am pulling the cable because my parking brake used to be loose ass hell and now i can't even engage it! its so damn tight!

Yeah that's a pretty clear indicator. The amount of slack in the cable is very minimal to begin with, when it's working right, or they'd be useless - the pedal would just go to the floor and you wouldn't get any grip. When you drop that much you've changed the axle position enough that you are in effect pulling the cable in on the shoe just as if you were mashing down the pedal. Look for the adjuster and see if there's much thread left for you to let the cable out some.
