25 July 08 E-brake installed but won't stop the wheels from turning!

Not much done today. Planned to work on it most of today but couldn't get started til about 630.  Wow.  At this rate a lofty goal may be to get it up and running before the warranty runs out on everything.  Not very inspiring.  Better days are ahead though, I can feel it! 

All I managed to do was get the e-brake cable connected to the brake pedal cable and adjusted to remove any cable slack.  When I push the pedal it pulls the levers on the e-brake assembly but it won't stop the rotors from turning when I turn them by hand.  That could be a problem, being an electric motor has no compression to keep the truck from rolling.  I'll have to figure out something.  Hopefully just an adjustment in the rear brake assembly or tighten the cable more.  Since my model didn't come with disc on the rear it's not in the manual I bought.
