take a good look at the mechanism for the ebrake, i found that on my samurai when i had the same exact problem i didnt have part of it lined up with the holes on the brake shoe properly making them extended further than normal. takes a trained eye if you dont know where to look, good luck, 6feet ;)

If the brake pedal doesn't feel right, the shoes need to be adjusted.  Jack up the rear  and spin the tires by hand, there should be a little grab by the shoes.  If not turn the adjusters with a brake spoon until they just barely rub the drum, that should put your pedal right where it should be.  Watch the adjusters, they only turn one way.
