Remove the drum and then get someone to press the e-break and see if the shoes move at all. If not your cable might be snaped inside the plastic sleeve,if that's the case pitch it and get a new one.But becareful some cars have two cables on from the pedel or hand controll then they link to the cable so disconect the one from where they link and press the e-brake and see if cable moves in and out at the end of the cable.Good luck
