Brake cable extension

I did remove the drums and made sure the dust was cleaned out.

Take a picture or 2 of the cables under the cart. Also measure them to see if they are indeed the right cables for the cart.

What year is your cart? Later ones had self adjusters, earlier ones did not.

I’m thinking it may be as simple as backing that nut off the tension spring. That solved my issue on an 04 DS

Is that the nut in the picture that the red arrow is pointing to?

That means you will have the self adjusters, no manual adjustment at the rear.
