Parking brake cable routing

Hey guys,

Think I may have either a routing or adjustment issue on my 94 Eddie Bauer 5.8. This started with a scraping noise from the passenger side drum....I am replacing everything except the wheel cylinders in the drums.....when I pulled the passenger side drum off the auto adjuster spring and mechanism that the spring connects to was laying in the drum.....my current issue is the parking brake cable is very tight in the drum, I ensured the brake was off, but had a very hard time getting the lever back on to the cable. Does anyone have the correct cable routing for the parking brake cable????

"...Inspect the parking brake control (2780) and look for loose mounting bolts, damaged or missing parts. Operate the parking brake and check for binding or seized components. Raise and support the vehicle and remove any debris that may interfere with parking brake operation. Check the condition of the parking brake cables. Look for abrasion or cables rubbing on body or frame parts. Repair, replace or reroute as necessary. Remove the brake drums (1126) and have an assistant operate the parking brake just enough to observe operation. Look for damaged or missing parts. Lubricate parking brake parts with Disc Brake Caliper Slide Grease D7AZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C172-A..."
