The strut that connects both shoes just below the wheel cylinder should darn near be touching the rear shoe (below the rear spring) Your photos show a good sized gap where the other photos are almost touching. Something isn't right with the e-brake. Your intermediate cable can be loose but the cable that enters the backing plate can be seized.

I'm not sure I agree. The two points that determine whether the shoes are "in" are that the tops should both be in contact with the top anchor pin, and the bottom, the adjuster all the way in, and obviously the shoes are against the adjuster. ANY possibility he has the wrong adjuster?
